I can honestly say that Resonance of fate has entered my Top 10 list of favorite games of all time. The graphics are simply beautiful and the gameplay brings on a fresh look to RPGs away from the "press one button to attack" mechanics of others.
Now I'm not going to lie. If you are new to RPGs, it would be wise to try one or two others before you try this one as it is not noob friendly, especially since this is a game developed by Tri-Ace who are known to make challenging games.
For one, it's highly recommended that you go to the Arena located a little to the side of the city you start in because the game does not give you an in-game tutorial through the beginning of the game like other RPGs and the last thing you want to do is go into battles with no knowledge of how to do stuff in this game because you will get murdered. However, if you do go to the Arena, the tutorial they give there will teach you everything that you need to know to play this game.
Secondly, this game offers amazing customization from the look of the characters to the abilities of the guns. A warning though. Gun customization takes a little while to get used to as there isn't an in-depth tutorial for the guns but once you get the hang of it, it's fairly easy.
Ah, one more thing. Leveling up works in a unique way in this game. Instead of gaining EXP for the character, you earn it for your weapons and the level that you are on is equal to the sum of the levels on your guns. So if your handgun was at LV19, your machine gun was at LV20 and your grenades were at LV13, your character would be at LV52.
The one thing that I do not like is that although there is a story, it is hardly deep enough to the point where you have to put the pieces together yourself. Otherwise i have no complaints.
So if you like a challenge in your games, this is a must.
