The game can be a little challenging sometimes but it's fair and each fight can be fought all in because your HP and TP are restored after each fight. The game starts off linear and story focused but seriously opens up halfway, bringing you tons of opportunity to explore, do side quests or recruit new character. Everything controls so fluidly and you're constantly rewarded for exploring the map through the awesome reward board. Movement overall is a joy with your party members literally flying over the map. The sky armors are a total blast in battle and to control because of the verticality and versatility they bring.

The music is fantastic, some of the best that you've heard in a RPG in quite a The perfect JRPG If you like RPG games from the 16 bit era then i promise you that this is a dream come true.
