Finished the game recently. My first this-gen JRPG. The English voice acting was pretty annoying, but fortunately the original Japanese CVs with subs were an option. The game was relatively easy and forgiving for most of the experience, but also fatally deceptive. I was under the impression of "doing pretty well" until the "Bad Ending" stabbed me in the back. I was suppose to do specific things, but the game didn't really stressed their urgency. I had to branch off an older save and got my second reality check when I was challenged by the final story boss. I had to learn, painfully so, that my grasp of the crafting/traits system was sub par. It took me a couple save branches to master the alchemy arts and to come up with some killer stuff. This all might sound negative, but I totally adore the game otherwise: heart melting coming of age story, great characters, deep alchemy system, fantastic soundtrack, pretty art work/direction and super smooth cel-shading. Loved it!
