This was my first Falcom game and it's the one I always point to as an example of their "house style", rock solid RPG mechanics that are never too basic or too complicated and a well paced campaign that explores all the potential of its systems. I see aspects of it in Ys, Nayuta, and even Kiseki.

I came to it much later, but you're right, regardless of what kind of RPG it is they've made, it's going to have a sensible depth and base mechanics that draw you in.
