Just recently saw this game at a local shop for $38 complete, and was wondering if it's worth it for a casual strategy/rpg fan. I like games such as Shining Force, Arc the Lad, Vanguard Bandits and FF Tactics, but I'm not really a die hard Strategy gamer.
What's the learning curve like, and how much time do you need to invest in the game? Basically is it worth it to the non-hardcore?
