The verdict
A charming old-school 3D JRPG with a great job system and music, but grindy, and the Steam port is known for save-wiping bugs. Skip it if you want a smooth experience.
Great for
Patient classic-JRPG fans who love job systems, nostalgia and grinding, and who will back up saves
Main risk
Port bugs or cloud sync can wipe your save, and the no-save final dungeon plus grind can be punishing
