Don't mind most of the negative reviews from the last couple days, the free weekend broke the inventory server so the DLC items aren't loading but they will load in once the item servers are fixed, don't worry.

I wanna recommend this game, there's a lot good to it, so think of this as a mixed review if anything but i'll hit the recommend button because i do respect this game enough to do so BUT.

there's so many choices the developers made in this that shouldn't have been implemented from the start.

for reference i grew up with MANY turn based titles from Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy, Shin Megami Tensei, Golden Sun, Blue Dragon, The Last Remnant etc etc. so this game is practically perfect for me since it hits all the right spots.

before i get into the negatives i have to say from the character writing and the art direction this game feels like a love letter and a hug to all fellow old JRPG heads and even after i list all the problems with this game i'll still go out of my way to finish it.

BUT i have to criticize some of the mechanics.
(let me point out that i'm pretending the Relics don't exist for pure gameplay value)

for 1 THANK YOU for giving a in fight party member switch like final fantasy X, loved that.

the list of attack types against enemies you must some how hit in 1 turn in order to prevent an attack from a single monster, why? it feels useless to even try and even then you can already somewhat pull off a meta set up for your party to kill them in one or two turns. (those who are good at timing moonerang hits probably know what i mean)

Combo abilities, the combo meter sucks, i would much rather have a detrimental recharge to those abilities that go through multiple battles, for example i use X Strike it would have a total of let's say 12 turns to be used again and those turns would carry over to multiple encounters, making the game slightly more challenging and gives us agency to use them sparingly.

this is obviously more of a me thing but being limited on how much food we can make i'm not a big fan of, 10 meals total being used primarily as healing items i would much rather horde as much as food as possible. (idk if there's ways to increase inventory size later on though)

FOR THOSE WITH AUDIO-TACTILE SYNESTHESIA AND OR MISOPHONIA: as much as i love a lot of the soundtrack in this game, some soundfonts for certain themes at specific times of the game have made me physically ill that i had to stop for several hours after feeling really dizzy. as the (spoilers!) first time this happened was after the Dweller of Strife was resurrected

from an old RPG head to another, would i recommend this? if you're looking for something that feels nostalgic but gives enough of a difference AND challenge that does respect your time? yeah i would.

however if you're expecting it to be exactly like chrono trigger or Mario RPG or Golden Sun? i would remove that from your expectations as this does imitate concepts from those, it just doesn't hit the same as the others mentioned.

and i see that as a good thing.

Cyberfunk really came in and said "I'm gonna Bomb, Rush, and Cyberfunk all over you." and proceeded to start a cypher.

10/10

Not sure what happened with this game but it used to work just fine with my ps4 controller completely as normal, now i can't do a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with the settings just crashes the game after awhile.
