The combat, exploration, and structure all scream "hey, I've played this before!" However, that realization comes through as a nostalgic sensation, almost as though the developer was paying homage to the franchises that came before it. Because of that, Nostalgia is the most aptly named games in recent memory. Sure it may have its flaws, and yes it's not the most creative RPG ever, but it's such a joy to play that it's an instant classic.
