I finished up Eiyuden Chronicles, and I think the reviews saying it's a 6-7/10 are correct. There are some good things like the character design, the animations, music and combat in general, but there are so many other little things that annoy the heck out of me like...
-Not being able to save anywhere
-Magic being almost useless. Late game spells cost 100MP, and most people have 300MP at that point, with no easy way to recover
-The rune lens equipment items can only be switched out at a specialty shop, which is a pain
-The 'war' combats are slow and overly easy, whereas on the other hand...
-The duels are so bad. You're basically guessing at what to pick (I had to look up a guide because I got frustrated), with nothing really telling you if you're picking the right option or not.
I had fun with it, but not something I would play again to get the true ending.
