I enjoyed this game. I'm pretty sure most of the haters have no valid reason for not liking it. So what it isn't like the rest? That doesn't make it a bad game. Just pretend it's named something else. Better now?
Hahaha... Oohhh, now I'm depressed.
Where would I even begin. Well, the battle system is so bad that the fans of this games need to argue for it even being gameplay (which it is) rather than it being good gameplay (which it is not). The leveling up system replaces any real customization or choice with pretty colors and hopes that will distract the player from the fact.
And don't get me started on how fucking irritating the encounters progressively become. No challenge, just a shit-ton of HP for enemies. And since you can't avoid the most of them, you end up playing the same 10 minute fight (where you do nothing but switch between healing/attacking paradigms) over and over until you go insane.
Characterizations makes no sense, character development is erratic and is full of They start as one dimensional and flanderized archetypes and end up being just boring after they eventually smooth out the more ridiculous behavior.
The plot is just contrived and forcibly turns around the story from a somewhat original (or at least not as clichéd) premise and could as well make the characters yell things like "Let's save the world!" or "Power of Friendship!".
