Thanks... that's about what I gathered from skimming a few reviews. The length is kind of what I'm trying to get into them for. Length, writing, and old-school-ness. Basically, apparently there is an ungodly amount of writing, the combat system is fairly simple, and the story is "JRPG good", which is to say you care about the characters and what happens to them and there are some good if operatically silly twists to go with an over the top opposing force. I just started. Apparently I'm about 8 hours from when it gets good. I'm avoiding spoilers.

It has JRPG tropes, but it's a good story in general. Sky 1 is pretty straight forward, but it ends on a cliffhanger that sets up the plot of Sky 2, which is much better. Sky 3 expands on the lore and further develops the overarching plot, and is one of my fave entries in the series even though it's a dungeon crawler with no towns. Zero has another pretty straight forward plot, but serves to setup the plot twist after plot twist in Azure. Again, I haven't played past the prologue of Cold Steel.
