I got about 15 hours of solid gameplay from the title by taking my time and enjoying the story.
Combat

72 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you're looking for solid, retro-RPG combat and witty writing then you'll find it here at a very reasonable price.
Graphics

52 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I really enjoyed the art style, which is similar to that in Final Fantasy VI, including the "super-deformed" characters.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A game that starts off as a humor-laced throwback to the SNES-era RPG, takes a right turn into some seriously solid character customization, party tactics and heavily rewards clever strategy, then the tracks end and dip the entire game off a cliff into a heart-wrenching ending that delivers on the fundamental promises of its narrative.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Plus all the conveniences, well paced learning curve, and constant upgrades to manage, make for an entertaining experience throughout.
