Now this is a hard RPG. This is also a fantastic RPG. It's also fun and easy to get into surprisingly. The series carries on the traditional 'create your own team' that the previous games did so you have free reign to name your characters (and soon after, skyship) while having them specialise in whatever you want. Both 2D and 3D environments, along with the sprites, are crisp and detailed making the world immersive. The symphonic soundtrack greatly helps with this and sounds magnificent. The difficulty and rather harsh point-allocation system may turn off casual players but there's a bounty of guides laying around on the internet to help with stat management - which is near essential as the game's descriptions of stat bonuses and such can be quite misleading. You will get wrecked a few times before you get the hang of things.
