Year 2008Dev Namco Tales Studio · Bandai Namco Entertainment

✓ Both are third-person Action RPGs — sharing deep RPG systems, open world exploration and melee combat

≠ Stands apart with multiplayer gameplay, while skipping action RPG combat

The best-liked entry for many: real-time combat with genuine depth once artes chain properly, and a protagonist who acts on his own judgement rather than following the usual JRPG script. Long. Its pacing sags badly in the middle act, and the Definitive Edition's added party member is poorly integrated into a story written without him.

It predates Sand Land by 16 years, with what that implies technically.
