Even though the story is different from the game, it's very enjoyable. Sure some scene and episodes can come off boring, but it's really not bad. The characters are still amazing as their game counterparts, the new characters are enjoyable. To me, this anime gives me something new and fresh from what I usually watch. It's got what you look for in a fantasy, action anime, maybe not everything but most of it. I highly recommend you give this a watch and give it at least half way through before knowing how you feel. That's how you'll get the full experience.
