Playing Dies Irae right now.

Game is interesting, real interesting. The text and it's pretentious vocabulary combined with excellent artistic design in CGs and luxurious exposition in battles provides an unshakeable feeling of quality. In spite of that, no matter how solid it may be, the central storyline is decent in the sense that it provides reason for the events, but lacks the complexity and depth necessary to make all parts of the game interesting. Consequently, the best parts are all in moments throughout the games, and everyone who does die goes out with a memorable bang that lingers in my memory for days afterward. This directorial flaw is often mended through how fucking awesome the speeches and descriptions in battle scenes are.

Overall, I'm really liking it.
