Like most others, I have mixed opinions on the game.

I'm about 34 hours into my second attempted play through (gave up the first time around since I didn't "get" the game, and restarted with a better main). The game is not a page turner with an interesting story and the dungeon formula is very repetitive for something it asks you to do at least 32 times.

I think this game is best enjoyed it "episodic" spurts. The stories are simple enough that the short recaps at the becoming of each chapter is usually enough to reorient yourself. So for me, it's more about enjoying a short RPG episode once in a while for couple of hours, where I see a little story take place as its own unit, and I don't get exhausted with the game play.

I've also gathered you can be a few levels behind with your average level compared to the recommended, especially if you can carry yourself with your unswappable character who should be well over leveled. If you're a couple levels above an area level, exp will essentially stall to 0. So it is more efficient to grind levels in higher level areas since you will basically always need to engage with the weakness system on enemies that give you an ounce of exp.

It's a solid game, but one I recommend you play slowly over time once you get the full party.
