I finished the game; I really liked it!
Uh, a few thoughts:
In the first forest, I had to flee a lot even though I'd ground my character to level 8. That one set of bad guys that was three enemies was too much for me.
I wish there'd been more shops in Chapters 2 and 3; I ended up with a ton of currency from grinding through the dungeons, but I had nowhere to spend it between battles.
