I would call Romancing Saga 3 the ideal game to start with, its difficulty curve being far smaller than its older siblings, and future entries only adding deeper complexity to the formula.
Far less replay value than i was hoping for, with only a few minor changes between each character, once you've seen it once there i not much more to see. My favourite moment was when my Lobster martial artist suplexed an evil car built by a mad scientist in her thir- twenties!
I can now sleep soundly at night knowing that mikhael's ruling minigame isnt real and cant hurt me
