A Perfect Mix of EAST and OVEST
Weak graphics, bugs and imperfect controls, but Holy Shit, it's a very solid RPG, with a great atmosphere, a solid story and a rampant humor. Must Buy.

Great
I missed this little gem when it came out. The first time I heard of it was about 2 months ago, when I bought it. I'm sad I missed it. It could have made my morose, pathetic college life a bit more entertaining.

My favorite RPG
I was skeptical about this game being a masterpiece, but once I started playing it I couldn't put it down. This game has some of the best, intelligent humor I've seen in a game anywhere. I can't recommend it enough.

The waiting kills me.
I'm going to repeat what everyone else has said: the writing is top notch, the characters are fantastic and the game has a great sense of humor. The combat system is actually really good, except the one glaring flaw the plagues this ENTIRE game: 5-10 seconds wait after doing anything. Just about every action you take both in and out of combat takes a long wait for you to get back into the action. Personally, I couldn't stand it and I stopped after the boss fight with the giant sentinel. Between that boss fight and the trash with multiple stare bears, which take 4-6 hits to kill, which also reset your ATB (for lack of a better term) meter when they use their stare attack, which also slows your ATB meter, which all of those things COMBINED with the 5-10 second wait between doing every little thing, made this a real slog that I couldn't bear to keep going through. Not to mention, when you're exploring outside of the battlefield, when you get on an elevator it takes about 5 more seconds after you get off to regain control of your character. If you go into a new area, it takes 5 seconds to regain control of the character. If you open a door, if you pick a lock, if you go into a cinematic... you get the picture.

A new player's tl;dr; rating
Pro: -Interesting, creative levels -Lots of hidden secrets -Nice sidequests -Interesting story -Perfects voices -One of the few games which actually made me laught out loud -Some nice stressful escape sequences Cons: -The game is basically an errand boy simulator (run there, and there, get stuff, run back) -Fighting seems unnecessary and boring for me -Too much animation during fighting (feels like wasting time, also can cause motion sickness) Buy if: You like discovery simulators, story, and doing sidequests, and basically talking to every NPC.
