Damn, this game is fast-paced! There's so much going on, and you have story beat after story beat. Characters join and leave the party constantly, so you have to adjust to new gameplay mechanics regularly. It feels like switching jobs because the story demands it, but I can live with that.
Even though it's the series' 16-bit debut, a lot feels very 8-bit and almost archaic, but I can't deny its charm.
