The gacha system holds it back a lot, like its the worst aspect of what would otherwise be a top tier game.
But its also completely unnecessary. You can beat the game and everything short of superbosses with the generic blades pretty easily. And you are guaranteed a bunch of rares quickly by design, so the big problem is "I want my specific waifu" that you'd only know about looking things up. So its even got the gacha FOMO down.
If you can just get past the itch to get too invested in gambling with it, its well worth it though. Rex's English VA aside, its a great JRPG and the DLC Torna is almost a second game onto itself. Same with the 3rd game, which fixes most issues with 2 and its DLC campaign fixes even more.
Between all 4 there, you have probably 500+ hours of gaming for under 100$.
Huh, I dropped 2 when it introduced the quazi-gatcha system, but maybe I ought to finish it off...

All the way down to 0$ on emulator.
That goes without saying for every game in existence that isn't only on Xbox.
