Could have been a better game

I expected long, drawn out cut-scenes since this is an anime rpg. I was glad to see I could skip them if I wanted to. After the first few hours, I started skipping the cut-scenes that I hadn't seen yet because the storyline was becoming like work to watch. I tend to like games of this genre that are linear where I just bash monsters and level up as I go. They entertain me and I usually play them once and send them back. Other posters compared this game to Final Fantasy but I think it was more like Fable. What turned me off and made me send the game back was the obnoxious battle system. I like turn based combat, but the mashing of the O button to defend made me feel like I was playing Dance Dance Revolution or Whac-a-mole. I won't play this game again but I would recommend it for anyone who wants to endlessly tap a button at precisely the right time over and over again, during every combat encounter.
