I've put about three hours in and I'm at the fourth boss in the game.
This game is amazing. Fun and simplistic. The game keeps moving with minimal cutscene bullshit and any uguu is suppressed, the way JRPGs should be if you absolutely have to use anime art styles. The kind of uguu that doesn't make you feel like a NeoGAF pedophile, which is almost a redundant phrase.
I'm playing as the girl character. The biggest plus is that it works perfectly with the 360 controller.
The best part is that it is only $20. Ys The Oath in Felghana is going for $15 on Steam right now. By getting both for $35, that is more fun than you'll probably ever have with a stupid and shitty 3DS title that will go for about the same amount. Seriously, Paper Mario Sticker Star isn't going to be a good game but I know there will be some clowns here that will buy it nevertheless while skipping out on these two games. Fuck you if you're one of these feggits. Support small, indie folks like xseed instead of lazy ass Nintendo.
Buy this game!
