If you've ever watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer, it's kind of like the earlier seasons
High school during the day, then hunting daemons at night*
But basically half the game is kind of graphic novel, with lots of dialogue and stuff like that. It has really good characters, writing and story. Then about 7 times in the year, you go into a dungeon and you get a nice classic turn based jRPG, with monster training (and then monster crafting)
* Shadows on occasional days, but it's a similar structure
