What players say
Better than the original in every way. Still playing this one, but the improvements are immediately apparent - deeper combat, better pacing, and an even more engaging story. The developer clearly listens to feedback and keeps leveling up.

This turn-based JRPG was a huge surprise for me. It executes everything it sets out to do extremely well. I wasn't expecting the game's art direction to capture the charm of classic 16-bit Final Fantasy titles so beautifully, but it absolutely does. The characters are well thought out, and their personalities clash in interesting ways that make the party dynamic feel natural. The main story also ties in nicely with...
They put some time into this game. The story is great and the gameplay is nostalgic. 10/10 would recommend for jrpg lovers
