Pros
Pro Deep turn-based tactical combat that you can easily sink hundreds of hours into
To simplify how the gameplay works it is a bit like playing chess where in each turn needs to be scrutinized in order to find the best play on the board. Being that there is a large amount of RPG elements thrown into the game, these choices become even more complicated while also adding a huge amount of options to the game.
Pro Masterpiece
This tactical RPG always ends up destroying all other alternatives with jobs, skills, stats, items, story, and enhanced dialogues. If only it had better graphics, it would be mainstream.
Pro For a mobile release, this is a large game with many hours of content, which is often rare on the mobile platform
