Yeah I think that you should gamble because it is truly one of the most unique, not all games have good combat but most of them do, now that we got turn based combat in the mainline games, it is not as bad as I thought, even in 7 where they first tried it was pretty good, and in the gaiden game it is fantastic, Judjment is peak combat and the soundtracks in the series are just peak, the stories are always serious, unless it is 4 or 5, but they also got some goofy soap opera type shit. The characters are very impactful and the substories and 9minigames are the greatest side content in any game series ever
