Good RPG
I actually liked this game. It had some of my favorite elements of rpgs, without spending an hour on the individual battles. That's why things like the Paper Mario games started to get boring: in the later levels each enemy took ten minutes to beat, yet to get a high enough level, you had to beat nearly every enemy in the game.
(this is also true with pokemon games, the difference being that I play those regardless)
I digress (always wanted to say that). Great game, took a sizable chunk of time out of my life.
