It definitely had its problems in the battle system. The targeting system could be problematic at times. The skill system wasn't very fluid to use because it required you to select skills with the Dpad when you moved your character with the left analog. This made various key moments of large battles a bit more frustrating than they should have been. The voice acting definitely suffered from the repetitive phrase use. "The enemy is weak, but don't let your guard down" spam was constant when ever farming low level creatures for quests or certain items.

But the world was good looking even if disappointingly SD. The genesis story was interesting. Lots of side quests and crafting. You could try your hand at monster hunting since "Notorious Monsters" existed. The wild life changed by time of day and weather. The equipment and gem slot system wasn't too bad either. A little overwhelming with garbage, so many junk items would drop, but at least there was a decent inventory sorting system and it was easy to find out what was garbage for the vendors.

A few of the first big bosses gave me fits when I was first learning to Monado system.

Overall I really enjoyed it. It was a game that filled a void in the current gen systems at the time. I'm glad I got a copy at GameStop before everyone went crazy for it and GameStop started charging 90 dollars used.
