Yeah it is. I actually have two things to say.
1) The avatar you get to create is pretty cool, because unlike most JRPG's what he buys, say he buys a Plate mail Tunic...unlike most games, it actually shows him wearing one.
This only applies to your avatar.
2) The bad thing about this is, your avatar does not speak. At all. Unless in combat, and is usually left out of the Scenes. This is just what I have experienced in the first...2-3 hours of gameplay.
