I tried the GBA version the other day in browser. Loved the graphics, but the dialogue was the typical Japanese-style soap operatic mess, and the battle control, tedious as hell.

For example, very first battle, and you have to wait minutes to even get your turn started because it's setup for the other side to move first. 😑

    It's a turn based strategy game, I expect it to be slow. 🤷

    Obviously I just received it today, so I'm not very far in it yet. No idea if the story or gameplay will be for me, but I'm excited to find out! I've seen a lot of praise for it over the years so it's very satisfying to finally have the cart in my hands.

    I will say so far, that I don't appreciate having instructional pop-ups with every action I take for each turn - only needed those the first time. I also like (and also wonder if I'll grow to dislike) the fact that I'm not controlling every single character on my team.

    With games like this, my experience is that after a while you tune out the quirks and annoyances and just enjoy the game. Hopefully that happens for you, and sorry if I came off too negative, above.

    I'm at an age where I've been playing them forever, so actually I pretty-much stick to only fast turn-based strategy games, with little or no backstory. The webgame "Compact Conflict" would be an example.

    I replayed the remake on Switch and the fast forward function is a better feature than all the other things they've changed in the remake.
