With every battle you also have a chance of capturing monsters from the first fight, unlike most games where you have to train some skill to do so, which you can then either separate for components or keep and sell as a whole to shopkeepers. You can chain battles, by either positioning yoursel correctly between many enemies or using the "time shift" ability your character has, greater risk= greater reward, so the higher the chain the more and better items and experience you get. So it has a few drawbacks like to start battles sometimes takes a while, not being able to control individual members and such (reason behind that is because you're sometimes controlling 50+ people in a huge war) and the storyline from what I've played is rather lackluster, but somewhat interesting because it's different.

If you want a game where you want to feel what it's like to issue attacks to multiple squads of an army, while still being a great RPG system with some pretty decent graphics, its a great game.

Oh right, yeah I'm thinking about something else that plays similarly then. That does sound interesting. I think I might get it.
