Anyone looking this up in 2022 should look up the patch notes. A lot of work has been done since this release. I just got it the other day while it was on sale and so far I’m enjoying it. When do we ever get a fully fleshed out JRPG that looks on par with Final fantasy in the indie game world? Not a whole lot. It’s not perfect but well worth some love.

Playing on the XSX now & im impressed on what a small talented team accomplished here.

[Chelaxim]

At least it's a breath of fresh air by being an indie RPG homage to JRPGs that took Inspiration from more than just earthbound.

Can’t wait for the PS5 physical native release. Thanks for the review. You guys released a lot of reviews this week!

I have to disagree with your commemtary on the difficulty and crafting systems.
For me personally, this crafting system, not requiring any stats / grind was the first since a loong time i actually spent time with and good great gear out of it.
With that gear I play at max difficulty which works great for me.
However you can fully adjust the difficulty and you can tweak the settings so that enemy lvls scale with yours.
You can tell that a lot of thought went into the adjustability of all major aspects of the game.
Normal encounters are always a challenge for me so the grid system is not annoying at all.

I have more than once confused this game, by title alone, with End of Eternity -- Resonance of Fate's JP title

Main hero is a _BADASS_ but cannot jump over a 2-foot fence.

This reminds me of "The Gate Won't Open" moment in FF7R where Cloud Strife is unable to simply hop over or cut down a chain-linked fence gate.

Just saw this game is coming on gamepass soon. How did I not know of the existance of this game?! Never saw IGN, etc cover it. It looks awesome.

[maltimoto]

Too bad, it looked promising (graphics). I would recommend the developers to focus on a simple system and a good story and not trying to put too much into it. Keep it simple and consistent!

[Onz.m]

I recommend this game for any rpg lover, everything is beautiful there are some glitches but story, gameplay, music, characters this game is a gem!

[Kaslo]

You definitely can see the Early Access in the those difficulty spikes, they seem to take place between where the "Chapters" ended and begun in Early Access, so it seems they tried to balance around people playing those Chapters longer than you would in a full release.

My review of your review is 👍👍👍👍👍.... Yeah, that's 5/5. Seriously, though I was considering buying this but after watching your reviews I think I'll hold off for now. I might buy it later on if I see a good sale price. The nail in the coffin for me might seem trivial to some but with only a few exceptions I loathe open world games that won't let you jump. It's right up there with invisible barriers or your character randomly saying something like, "Ugh, I better not go this way" to indicate you've reached the edge of the map. Nothing breaks the immersion more than crap like that. Anyway, keep doing whatcha doing and I'll be back. ☮

Yasunori Mitsuda did the score. I wouldn't have even heard of this game if it wasn't for the fact that this great and legendary composer was involved, yet this review fails to even mention this incredibly important point.

[DieselJT]

Great review Azario! Even though the game does not look amazing I am still a little intrigued by it. Will probably give it a go when it goes on sale.

[NotTheMachine]

That’s why ya gotta create a solid design document and treat it like a bible

Just bought this a few days ago and I am loving it. If you love the older Final Fantasy games (7 through 10 pretty much) this game is right up your alley.

[theoakty]

It's actually a decent game. I have fatigue over triple A games that this clicked with me. Reminds me of older time games like from 2005 where everything were simple and mostly broken. But I actually have fun with it.

[artaizen]

maybe the next game they make will be more mature.
Looks good and for it to work IS an achievement in its own

[hjuuh]

I think game is great, and i just feel to explore everything and talk to every npc.. there is bug and so on and its not the best rpg i have played but still its really good game, just remember its indie not big studio game. And i also like how world is made, its more like colorful than dark one

[Zonefire]

I remember playing it for a bit and getting turned off due to one of the reasons being that the audio all around sounded like it was recorded in a garage.
