Also, whoever thought it was it a great idea not to allow reloads/restarts in combat needs to be shot. If you are for sure going to lose a battle, you can either ALT-F4 or skip turns until your team dies. Is this 1991 or wtf

You wouldn't last long in a tabletop game.

I played and beat this game over the last week, I am struck with the urge to go throttle the writer and travel back in time and prevent myself from playing it. The story is massively disjointed, being a crude "Best of..." version of FFXII with some superficial Xenogears references (robots, reincarnating ginger women), but with no pacing, build up or humanization of the characters.
There are several major story points that involve sexuality and cuckolding, as well as m'lady tier chick worship - the scent of virginity wafts off it.
The combat system is decent but gets extremely broken if you use the crystal upgrade system (just stack Agi+ bro).
Hard skip and please alter cauality so I skip it too.

AFAIK there's 2 ways to bend over the combat system, either agi stacking or weakness stacking combined with element crystals and charged attacks.

Story's milquetoast 'good old school JRPGs' fanfiction. You have to be a giant snowflake to be offended by it, the PC's a classic insecure guilt-ridden Chosen One saved by FRIENDSHIP. Forgettable.

It captured a sense of exploration quite well and that's the highlight - the combat's reasonably functional. I don't think I'd ever replay it, though.
