The value story

September 2020 is where it bottomed out, at $3.99. Its cuts run 80 percent off as a rule. There have been 66 in the 10 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 89 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 95 percent. The nearest things to it, Fuga: Melodies of Steel ($39.99, scores 69) and Lost Eidolons ($34.99, scores 22), are both worse buys on this math.

81 from critics against 92 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.

Steam's global achievement data puts about 16 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 32.7-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. This site sampled 359 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 3 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written May 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 64 percent of the 157 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it.

The main story runs 32.7 hours. Doing everything runs 380, 12 times as long.

What players say

It's pretty much the same as the first game with some minor changes. It did bug out for me at the very start once though during the turorial and because I saved after that, the savefile was unusable. I could not select any worlds to go to. It may have had something do to with the fact that I summoned all the optional characters first? Anyway, as it was only the very beginning and didn't happen ever again throughout...

this game makes me happy in ways I don't know how to communicate, it was the first JRPG I actually cared about the story for and it still makes me happy replaying the story AND grinding the item world for maps and other stuff.
