One of my best PSP experience to date... great gameplay, good music, involving plot, terrific final fantasy RPG game!
The leveling method is something new and requires some getting used to it. As traditional RPG rewards player as experience increase, this sort of system would require player to get out of the old way of thinking.
The battle system is also encouraging player to 'backstab' as the reward is doubled, this takes out the routine attacking X clicking and put some action in it. Micro-manage system like this, and many other customization in the game allow a constant involvement of the player with the game that ensure long gameplay (one that will accidently made you skip a meal or two)
