I'm like, one toe deep in 4 different turn-based RPGS. What does this one do particularly well?
Bit of Xenogears where you can mount into giant robots for fightin'
Bit of Chrono Trigger where you can see the enemies and choose to run into them
Has an enchantment system you can use to buff your weapons
You can build out the skills on each character as well which is wonderful for customization.
Combat system takes a smidge to get used to since it penalizes you for spamming singular skills a bit too much, but it's not tough to work with.
If none of that does it for you, just wait a while until things calm down for you, not like it's going anywhere, and it's never hit 50% off so plenty of time for that to happen as well, which is my usual trigger for buying a game that looks good to me.
Oh, I already have it, I just needed a good reason to hop into it and really give it a shot over the holidays.
I'm fine with games that push you to change your combat; combat that's only there as a stat check and grind doesn't feel like a compelling reason to have combat.
