Overall, this is a really good game, kept me entertained for a few hours. However, there are some glitches that really screw up gameplay.
In the town destroyed by a hurricane, after rescuing the woman's child, you could talk to her multiple times and earn the rewards from her quest ad infinitum. Quite an easy way to farm money, but obviously an glitch.
However, there is a glitch that REALLY screws everything: after beating the pale bloodbat, when you return to the guy who requested him dead, he keeps repeating the dialogue from the previous hunt. Altough that's an easy way to farm crystal essences (he drops two whenever you talk to him), this makes it impossible to complete his quest, therefore making the "Saintly" medal unobtainable.
You fix these glitches, and take TypicalUsername advices, and you'll have a really great game. So far, it is merely a good game, with potential to be a lot better.
