Like a good story? Play this game.

The story in this game is awesome. I don't even care that the characters fit with some of your typical RPG tropes - they're likeable, the dialogue feels natural, and the writing is funny.

The ending is... well. I won't even describe it, except to say that it's awesome and leaves you wanting more. This -is- the first chapter in a series of three, but if you're going for full completion (I highly recommend a walkthrough - there are a ton of Guide Dang It moments,) you should still get 40+ hours worth of playtime out of it.

Like good gameplay? I don't care - play this game for the story.

Okay, okay, the gameplay isn't actually bad...

The tactical combat is interesting, and the combination of easy knockback and non-immediate spellcasting makes for some interesting strategy. At the same time, it's not so detailed that it gets tedious - if you're equipped well enough and have the healing items to spare for after battle, you -can- just steamroll the encounters. It's not as good as say, FFT:A, but it's neat enough to be entertaining.
