I'll admit, I have barely scratched the surface of this game and it is amazing. You are given so much choice it's ridiculous. I made a pretty standard RPG party (tank, thief, healer, black mage) and have been really enjoying my time. It is a true tribute to the SNES RPGs of my youth. It is a little grindy (what RPG from that era wasn't?) but it gives you so much customization and so many meaningful choices on how your characters grow that I just can't wait for the next level. It's also rather brutal on hard, or at least it seems like it for me. However, to me this isn't a downside...it just adds to the fun. Most of the modern RPGs of this style are so formulaic and easy to build the perfect party (Blue Dragon, Persona 4, just to name a couple) that I quickly got bored with the battles, although I loved the storylines. So far, every new enemy I have encountered added something interesting to the battle, or some new ability or twist (or just tons of damage my party was equipped to take) that it has kept it interesting. The story has barely started, but I am already looking forward to the many hours I will put into this game.

10/10. Would buy again. :)
