Read my first post in this thread.
I never said it was bad. I enjoyed the game, but to me, it's just not "holy shit this is fucking awesome" kind of good like Xenoblade. I felt combat was rather simplistic and extremely easy. One of the easiest RPGs I've ever played, actually. Plus it's almost impossible to die because you can revive up to 5 or 6 times in a row. Bosses as well as regular enemies require little to no skill to defeat, and combat gets slightly tedious towards the end for that very reason.
Combat isn't as tactical as you might expect - there was only one time when I really had to use stealth and guerilla tactics; most of the time, though, you just hack and slash your way through enemies while your AI-controlled teammates do their thing. (You can actually give orders to teammates, but it's not especially exciting. It comes in handy sometimes, though.) Also, your characters only have a limited amount of skills. And by limited, I mean
very limited. The protagonist has the most, and even he only has about 7-8, some of which are non-combat skills. The rest of your teammates have around 3-4. In other words, you'll be using the same 2 or 3 attacks during the entire game. Hilariously enough, it's still rather fun to play, and it was only getting really tedious towards the very end.
There's also no exploration at all - most of the game takes place in one city, which is not as big as you might expect. Other than that, you're just visiting one dungeon after the other; there's no open world whatsoever. If you don't care about exploration, this isn't such a big deal, though. Still felt a bit claustrophobic to me.
There's quite a number of things I liked, some of which you can find
here. As you can see, I don't hate it at all. But it's really only an "okay" game IMO.
And that's about it. Hope it was descriptive enough.
