Yes the artwork is amazing, if you are into JRPGs then it is a 
definitive must buy, if not like I am the artwork and explorative puzzle 
sidescrolling makes up for the JRPG mechanics. The game itself starts as 
a puzzle platformer but really soon after the beginning becomes a 
mixture of an (easy) puzzle sidescroller and JRPG with really amazing 
artwork and sound.
The game itself is not really difficult, and according to some reviews 
about 8-10 hours long.
The game itself is not to hard so far (I am in chapter 4 with about 3 
hours into the game)
