Not my cup of tea, never played one from the genre. But my brother has, and the main thing I hear him rave about is an encounter meter, so you know how long until the next random encounter. Seems nice in theory, so consider that I guess.
Played a little, it seemed like I couldn't fill the last of my 6 party slots for some reason. Also none had skills, so I just escape spammed to explore. That's about it.
Keep up the good work, there's a lot of stuff here already.
