- battle tempo is extremely agreeable
- boss fights are tough but if you polish your tactics, they are fun
- Kaim's existence in the story is, according to Shigematsu's writing, very deep and well crafted. A virtuous story, as Sakaguchi also said
- event scenes progress with beautiful graphics, impressive
- battles have a noticeable effect on your characters, which develop in an enjoyable way
- it's a good RPG for adults to play and take lots of time playing through
- scenario is very "bitter"
- 4 DVDs with amazing video and beautiful music
- it's a shame about frequent loading and the poor lip-syncing

I expected (hoped) higher score, but I'll buy it no matter what the scores are as the story has intrigued me.

Note to English speaking audiences that the reason for the "bad lip syncing" is that the characters were synced to the English audio track (thus why they provided the option for English audio on the Japanese version). So that problem won't be so much of an issue for the Western release, I'd hope.
The load-time issue sucks, but I played through Sonic 360 and a plethora of loadfest PSP games, so I reckon I'll deal with it. Besides, if that's their only major complaint with this game, then I'll take that in stride - because the rest of the game looks more than worth the frequent waits.
