Reused assets = barely true
Too long = main story is about 40 hours, standard for a JRPG
Too complicated = stop playing God of War n00b, the battle system is perfect
I prefer the battle system in BK2 how it has the whole card playing ATB thing going on, also way tougher with heaps more strategy. A true gamers game
Also best JRPG localisation of all time, all VA is perfect
