A really good Tactical RPG with a nice (albeit classic) story, marred by frustrating combat.
It's really fun to play if you like pure RPG and the story and settings are immersive but you *will* get mad at having to repeat entire battles because one of your party refuses to take commands or because someone just stopped attacking and just stood there until he nearly died. And there is a lot of battle so it will happen.
Still, if you push through and keep going, the story is rewarding and it's a good game to play.
