It's a good game, just overpriced as hell. Pick it with a 50% discount for a more honest price.
Most negative reviews are because this game was advertised as a farming / life-sim but without most of the basic features modern games of this kind have. The game itself has some flaws, but I am really enjoying it so far. Most side quests are interesting and the rewards help unlock some stuff faster. The main story is good enough to make you interested in what it is going to happen next.
This game is actually a Final Fantasy spin-off with farming elements, and remind me a lot of Cristal Chronicles for some reason. The art design, music, basic combat; it even have a little intro of the area when you enter it for the first time similar to CC. This is just a crazy theory of mine, but looking this game as a "spiritual sucessor" of CC, may explain why the farming and life-sim aspects are so simple: it's because they are just a replacement for the more multiplayer-focused "beat the same dungeons mutiple times to advance time".
I am a huge fan of both Final Fantasy and Rune Factory / Harvest Moon and even if this is not the crossover of our dreams made real, I still liked it a lot and hope that the devs get another chance, maybe for a sequel.


PS: Stop complaining about the male characters having large hips and just pick the female protagonist so you can be happy that the main character is a female with a large hip.

Aesthetically and story wise it’s giving Final Fantasy and gameplay is very similar to Rune Factory, but waaaaaaay better. I can’t recommend the game enough honestly.
