I just finished it, then went back for the bonus side quests so I could get the true ending.

I wished the writing was less childish, but like you, I really enjoyed the texture of the characters. They really do Garl right. The original final bossfight is laughably easy if you've learned how to use Serai, but the "true ending" final boss is more fun. Overall I'm 4/5 on it.

I totally agree, Garl is awesome.

At first I thought he was the comic relief guy, and I'd spend the following 20-40 hours listening to cringe-inducing Marvel-like humor. Instead they crafted a character that was funny but never over-the-top, and actually proved useful a few times (especially on a chapter that I won't discuss because I'm not sure how spoilers work on Lemmy and its various applications yet).

I have not finished the game yet, and although the story is a bit cliché, it also has a few good moments, and I'm loving the cast so far.
