For showing me that the heart of the company I loved growing up is still in there somewhere.

For giving yet another example that turn based combat can be difficult.

For throwing away everything that has been the bane of the series and JRPGs in recent years, to focus on what the games are and should be at their core.

For being willing to change tone away from the incredibly dark and overly serious, to lighter things like Edea's "Mrgrgr" or anything from Chapter 7.

For bringing back Doomtrain, in an even more awesome form.

For a brilliant soundtrack.
