It’s good, not great. No real character interactions. Just 8 individual stories that are 4 chapters long. Each chapter is about an hour long. Combat is really good. I decided I really wanted the advanced jobs and grinded my way to them. Now that I have them all unlocked though... I find myself not super motivated to keep playing...

You already found all the jobs ? Damn, must have put some good time into it :P

Though, as for the character interaction they don't need to be more serviceable than the chit-chat we get during Chapter 2 and later between the party,IMO. 

I’ve put about 40 hours in.  I got the time now while it is summer.  My time goes away when school starts.

 

Story has always been a very important part of RPG’s for me, and the lack of an overall story or character interactions is very disappointing for me.  It feels like 8 very small rpgs then one whole rpg.  I feel like this game could have been much better with a cohesive story bringing all these characters together.   Oh well, it’s still good, just not great.  At least the characters don’t annoy the crap out of me like the bravely series (except the hunter, I hate her).
