【ENGLISH VERSION】 I played the second game first in this series, haven't tried the first one yet (heard people say the first is better, but I won't comment on that). I've played a lot of similar games, and this one's art style really hits the spot for me. The story is also pretty engaging (with some moments that are both funny and heartbreaking). One thing I really wanna rant about: when I found out I could change...
This game is an incredibly charming piece of RPG. I really love the art style and the gameplay is absolutely replayable
