I recently spent 80 hours playing TLR on PC and this game is FUN! The battles are fluid and there are tons of special attacks and party members to get. Why did no one care about this jrpg again? It has everything that I wanted in a rpg this generation. Ok so the story is shit, but 90% of the jrpgs have shitty stories so it is not a deal breaker. However it is nice to see in this day and age a jrpg that isnt super linear as you can find lots of hidden towns and dungeons. Hell, there is barely a tutorial in this game. Sometimes you just stumble over sidequests and rare bosses that you had no idea that was there.
I think this game and FF13 are polar opposites of each other, it is sad that fans gave square the finger on this one while embracing the shitstain that was FF13.
