A pretty good rpg held back by slow, lengthy battles and lack of a map. Difficulty is kinda all over the place creating a weird imbalance. The story is very interesting and the characters are too.
Don't be afraid to turn off the battle timing, put it on auto and never have to worry about the following: taking more damage, dealing less damage and healing being less effective because you missed the qte that follows most commands. It's like Paper Mario and worse: Sonic Chronicles: both have qtes, if you miss the commands you either take more damage or your healing does far less healing.
Unlike Paper Mario, the game is more unforgiving.
