Somebody has already said it but I still want to say this: you should try the game yourself!
For me this game is worth playing because of its story/ beautiful BGM/ a wide variety of choices of classes/ beautiful scenery/ unique 2D playstyle. Playing it is like an adventure. There is always something new for you to explore.
What's so special about this game is that a lot of people hate it as much as they love it. Because as the gameplay proceeds, players will have to spend time on improving their equipments and their characters' stats, which sometimes lead to having a painful memory. I think this is the story for lots of players (including me): they enjoy the game when they first started, they leveled up their characters, they began to have more expectations, they spend their energy and emotion into the game, they try to pay to win, they get no result, they feel hopeless or boring, and they quit. After some period of time, they hear someone talking about this game or accidentally see a YouTube video online, they decide to give this game one more chance and they're back xd.
What I've changed myself is that I no longer crave for progressions that much anymore. If you are not the kind of craving person, I am sure you will have a great time.
