Some people will like it and some people will not. If you are a story heavy person while enjoying a really good battle system then this game is for you.

Battle System is all a matter opinion since i've heard complaints. however i agree with you as far as story goes. 

If you like exploration and lots and lots of side quests that aren't hunts. Then play something else.

Exactly. 

Think' you're the first person to put it the best way round' here instead of trying to force people to buy it or hate it, heh' good one on ya'.
