It shocked the HELL out of me how good this game is. Especially since it's a western RPG made by a Japanese company. One of the few games that's hard but actually fair about it, great combat, AMAZING character creator, every NPC you can talk to can end up being your love interest, great mini-boss type monsters with multiple health bars with Shadow of the Colossus like climbing mechanics. I'm loving the Pawn system too. Reminds me of creating my whole party in the old Icewind Dale games, even though you can't create your whole party. It's so fun that I don't even care that the story is pretty meh and coming from my story whore self that's a HUGE compliment, lol. I can't possibly be the only one playing this here, right?
