I really enjoyed the game until I got to the desert area before the temple. The desert area was extremely large, and I felt compelled to explore every nook and cranny. This took forever. When I finally got to the end of the desert, I was faced with an amazingly tough boss that killed all my characters in 1-2 hits, DESPITE all the grinding I went through exploring the desert area.
I figured I'd probably need to go up 2-3 levels per character to beat the sucker, and I estimated such an endeavor would take at least an hour and a half, so I promptly stopped playing.
Also, long periods of grinding expose the main weakness of the battle system. It can get incredibly boring when your characters are on auto-pilot while taking out weak creatures.
But up until that point, I loved this game. Give me tips to keep on loving it!
