Its probably considered too cookie-cutter and generic these days. All except for that glorious battle system. I've always wanted to play an RPG with a fighting game battle engine. And this is probably as close as I'd get. And I loved it. I only played through it the one time, so I'm not sure how well it'd hold up these days. But damn was it a great one-time play through. I loved the world and the characters, and that damn battle system. Everyone seems to compare it to Xenogears. The one magazine I got as a kid said that it was Xenogears battle system on steroids lol And they were completely right
