This Series and especially this entry has charme and atmosphere you just cannot get from other franchises.
If you're interessted in Jrpgs and Monster Collectors like Pokemon you just cannot skip at least trying it out.
Allthough i wouldnt blame you may have a hard time, if you're new to this series this game can be pretty brutal and due to not the greatest dungeon desing this can be hard to come by.
But in my opinion this game offers more than enough qualities like battle system, story (even though its plotdriven and not character driven so pls dont expect tales of or legend of heroes), the atmosphere and demonsystem outweight its weaknesses by far.
