I'm about 6 hours in and I'm enjoying it a lot. I like the action style gameplay. The plot so far has been fairly predictable, but enjoyable. Voice acting took a little getting used to, but I've warmed up to it. All the characters are likeable in one way or another, unlike other JPRGs such as FF13 (in which the only likable characters in the first 10 hours was the comic relief.) The battle system is fun and full of action, but I wish you were able to have a little more control, and that the strategy element was a little more fleshed out. So far its been a solid 8.5 for me as well. Soundtrack of course is amazing (Uematsu never disappoints). If you like your RPGs with more action, this is definitely a game to try.
