wow, i did not expect the first overworld area to be so big! i thought the SNES JRPGs this game was inspired by mostly had mazes, tight corridors, empty world maps, etc. this feels almost like a xenoblade-style large area with tons of little sidequests and items to gather. definitely impressive, it's been fun to explore the whole place.

While the game's opening was excellent and I love what it's done to rethink some JRPG gameplay conventions, I don't find myself dying to jump back in today after playing a few more hours yesterday. It lost its momentum story-wise in the last section I just did, as well as slowing down on character progression and novelty in the combat. …

It lost its momentum story-wise in the last section I just did, as well as slowing down on character progression and novelty in the combat. Think I'll prioritize a couple other games for now and jump back into this afterward. Definitely seems worth putting more time into.

First Impressions:
The gameplay is really nice and totally satisfies the desire for a SNES-style JRPG. I dunno what it is but the map movement feels so fluid, it's great to control. The battle system is trying some new things to avoid battles just being "just mash the attack option to win", makes you think a little bit, still mostly …

The battle system is trying some new things to avoid battles just being "just mash the attack option to win", makes you think a little bit, still mostly straightforward so far.
Writing is really awkward, the dialogue is quite stilted, the characters don't really have unique ways of speaking, and for some reason no one in this universe uses contractions so it doesn't sound natural. The game throws a bunch of Lore at you and I can't keep track of which kingdom is which, who is the good one, who is the evil one, who is the neutral one...? I can't remember and there's no glossary.
No glossary for gameplay stuff either. I can spend one star to learn a skill that inflicts Oil on an enemy, but there's no way to know what Oil does so why would I spend a rare star on it...? Other than that noticeably missing feature, it is otherwise very modern and smooth to play.

My most awaited indie game of all time (for now). Hope it exceeds all expectations.
