My thoughts - I honestly enjoyed my limited time with the game. I did add it to my wishlist. I think that it's very interesting in multiple ways. The first and most impressive is the character diversity and the relationships between the characters, also being influenced by personality traits that the characters will develop over their journey. Another interesting point, and one that adds a higher skill curve is the fact that your characters are not locked into a sequence for which character attacks, or uses an ability first. Meaning, that you have to know what choice and action is correct, and in which order to make the choices.

I only played the tutorial portion, which was actually a pretty good tutorial.
