I don't know who all is playing this, but you should be! And if you are already, make sure all play the game with the toughest Limiters the game provides to get the best out of it.

The combat system is action based but you can pause it and issue a number of actions depending on their cost and how much turn() meter that you have available. It is fantastically designed. I am currently completing my second playthrough for that mighty fine Platinum. Everyone should be playing this game, it is simply fantastic.
