Can be pretty stressful at times, but for all the misgivings I have about this game and the frustration it occasionally gave me with tedious plan/material management and the back-to-back bossfights, I can't find myself disliking it. Despite everything, the game isn't too terribly hard if you know what you're doing. Sometimes that means knowing when to pursue plans for better healing items, what enemies to seek out, data discs to make, etc. Has really nice presentation to go along with an occasionally (putting stress on occasionally here) really satisfying and fluid-feeling battle system. Wrap that all in an adorable moé package and light-hearted, silly story that you aren't supposed to take entirely seriously, and you have a pretty good game in my book. Goes on sale for super cheap too, I'd say it's worth the pickup.
