It's vicious, I love the features but the prologue is brutal and I mean "toss you in the deep end of the pool". I was NOT expecting to have a couple of my characters straight up die during combat at the beginning in your average battle. They revive with full health after each battle but OUCH.
The battle system is like the NES/FC FF2 except with attacks. The more you use one attack under one tier the more likely a light bulb will pop over your characters head and you will see a new ability being used...very cool. There is even a 0 MP ability to heal yourself that unlocks for some.
The backgrounds are gorgeous though the characters look fairly mediocre. This game was originally ported from the Super Famicom to phones back during the summer absent the polish and it shows in the way the interface is laid out.
I will have at it again but be warned if you want to discover the sweet underbelly you must deal with the saltiness at the surface.
