Holy crap, this game is almost overwhelming. Between all the stuff going on at the same time on screen, knowing what everything does, dodging, managing your time, collecting things, sweet jebus, I love this game. And when I thought I about had it down, the in between battle thing showed me the options of managing units/exp, fusing items/weapons, and all the stuff I've already forgotten. There's a lot of stuff crammed into this game.
Also, while it is mostly SRPG, there's just too much other stuff going on to really consider it one. If you don't like SRPGs, this will probably not be to your liking. Hell, even if you DO like SRPGs, you may not like it. I think this is just a game for people who want something different, or a challenge.
