I guess I'm in for another steep learning curve. Always been fascinated though so I'm sure I'll like it. It's justifying the time that's the problem...
Dunno if this is a good starting point for jrpgs I not purposefully mauling it every time I see it mentioned. It just really wasn't that special or engrossing which is bad because I was sure it would suck me in like new generation jrpgs with green fields and smoking chimneys. Something on par with chrono trigger, Suikoden or final fantasy up to X.
Sadly it's empty, looks amazing but is incredibly dull. I played enough to decide it wasn't for me. On top of that the combat system is far from the best the genre has to offer.
So if you don't like it don't judge all jrpgs on this one.
