So, the updated version is released in Japan (w/ full English support) and the UK now, with the US to follow in Feb. I know some of you are probably too busy playing, but no thread? For shame...
It's a Square-Enix RPG, and whilst the plot's hardly brimming with originality the game itself is a wonderful reminder of what made a lot of people fall in love with JRPGs during the 16bit era. It's got some great character designs and music, and a really smart battle system that leans on a finely tuned job system along with a unique spin on handling turns, where you can really ramp up the risk/reward factor.
All the StreetPass / online stuff seems neatly integrated too. I can summon Fallows to my game once a day to dish out beatings, which in itself must be worthy of some credit.
