I’ll add to the other comment for anyone else that’s actually open to new things, because I traditionally don’t like turn based games:

The combat is excellent and the enemies are varied. Party members have fun synergies with both your team and the enemies, and the Pictos system adds a ton of flexibility for each character. You can have some crazy setups, at one point I gave a character the explosive death + instant-death perk which let me skip a lot of the easy battles later on.

Plus there is a parrying mechanic that is challenging and rewarding!
