As an old RPG player Wandering Sword hits all the right buttons for me, from its beautiful pixel animation, engrossing battle system, and good writing (albeit abit rushed at times)

some gripes i have with this game:
1. some storylines feels unfinished(e.g Kama Cult questline, curing Moli, finding herbal saint Shang Tingzhu, the pili weapon smuggling sidequest, snake envoy's rebellion,to name a few. Seriously though, is it unfinished or we players just havent found it yet? dev pls answerr :) )
2. some places in the map feels underutilized, or straight up placeholder (e.g Yu VIllage, Villain Valley, and most of Nanjiang region) - kinda unfortunate since these are all beautiful places rife with potential lores
3. some random NPCs having their affinity capped (e.g that one staff wielding kid from the western area has his affinity capped at 40), implying that there are further stories with them
4. some beautiful, unique character with their own sprites being sidelined as city fillers without any story significance
5. lots of forbidden areas thats unaccessible even until the very end

all in all I love this game quite alot that it outweighs all these gripes I have. I hope devs continue to put the clearly apparent care into this game because i believe it has the potential to go toe to toe with other bigger games in this niche such as Octopath and Triangle Strategy.
