Resonance of Fate

When I read reviews of Resonance of Fate, many of them seemed to think the game was incredibly hard. After playing the game myself, and then watching a friend of mine play, we both got a little confused as to why people thought the game was challenging.

The biggest challenge in Resonance of Fate, was figuring out how to play. While the game's tutorial does explain the rules, it doesn't really explain how to win. It is up to the players to figure out what works and what doesn't.

What I find worrisome, is the possibility that people are getting too accustomed to having games explain everything. If people are always told exactly what they need to do, how will they learn to think for themselves or solve problems that haven't yet been solved?
