About
Two decades ago, your adoptive father prevented the end of the world, but the deeds of his adventuring party were pushed to the side and forgotten. Now, that which threatened us is stirring once again, and it's your turn to combat it. Travel freely in the empire of Asterna and the islands surrounding it, seek power and allies, and prevent the next coming of a world-ending Calamity.

Build your characters by mastering and switching between over 20 classes, learn more than 150 active and passive skills, use several hundred items and pieces of equipment.
Find, recruit, and get to know more than 15 companions to form your party.
Freedom to do what you want as you prepare for the final battle: no mandatory quests, no specific order of story events you must see, no hand-holding. Pick a side in a civil war, fight in an arena, hunt monsters, make money by trading - whatever gets you what you need is a valid way to play.
Turn-based combat at your own pace; no need to hurry to make decisions, no long waits as animations play or you transfer to and from combat.
Graphics, gameplay, and music reminiscent of early 90's role-playing games.

New post-game story and dungeons.
New quests and bounties.
6 new Ascended Classes with their own skills.
More than 70 new pieces of equipment to further tweak your character builds.

This game is amazing, it really lets you just go out into the world and tackle it whatever way you like, the combat is satifying and quick, but bosses can bend over your back if you get too cocky with them. Sometimes you'll find a dungeon that is giving you a hard time, only to go out to the next town, do a few side quests and come back with a vengeance! Or just ignore everything and make a mad dash to the end. It's been a while since I played a game with this much freedom, and it really did scratch an itch I didn't even know I had. I recomend it to any rpg fan to try it out.
Writing a new review after beating the game. I could have easily taken much longer to beat the game if I had spent the time going through every single one of my companion's backstory quests (which are all well done!). I will start with the negatives (not many). I only have a few things I disliked, the music being the chief one of those. Sometimes it's good, other times it's ear grating and discordant (unsure if that's the style they were going for, but it doesn't really work in the capitol, and I'm not the first to say it). The other thing I disliked was the rate of encounters in some areas, but that is easily fixed by running or unlocking a utility skill that lets you avoid encounters by the time they get annoying. Now for the positives, in no particular order. I feel like I made many non-conventional choices which led to an interesting ending, which is a good thing for me. About 10 hours to beat the game with finishing all I wanted to do in the way I wanted to. I will probably play this through at least one more time, maybe more, just so I can see all the stories of the party members I found. (At least 10 from what I remember, and only finished the stories of about 4 of them). I also want to see what happens when I pick other options in the civil war and other quests. Overall, this game is surprisingly in depth and fun to play, and I could have put much more time into the game and maxing out more classes (you get some buffs for maxing a class and switching to a new one). Artwork is fantastic in the battles, meh in the overworld (RPG maker is obvious here). Character art is improved from what I saw in that first video covering the game we all watched. The difficulty wasn't particularly hard, and it was paced well. You learn quickly what you can fight and that AOE and DOT effects are your friend. Buffs and debuffs matter. By the end I could beat pretty much everything, even the final boss the first try. (Heal All + Rally for infinite refreshment!). My party by the end consisted of these maxed classes: Bard/Commander Necromancer/Archmage [Redacted] Weapons Master (A dip into fighter for a few things) There are so many combinations and so many skills to rearrange to fit what you want. Equipment is also meaningful. The game is great. Go get it.

The game is entertaining and has an incredible amount of replayability; the location of companions changes, and they all have unique dialogue depending on the quests you do. Bosses also change. Sometimes, they change elemental affinities or just get swapped entirely, which seems random per run. You also have a lot of freedom when building your and the other party members' abilities, gear, and skills. The game is a fantastic world RPG that has an insane amount of detail, and the fact that it's done in RPG maker is even more absurd. If you like games that are replayable, or just exciting video game experiences, you really ought to do yourself a favor and play this game. Yes, it starts slow; yes, speed is the best stat by a country mile, and once you explore for a while, you can find trivially easy ways to grind things like money if you want to, but this game respects your ability to mess around and find out the consequences. Also, the party members are all great. Flora is the best Aunt.
I can honestly say this is mechanically one of the best Turn-based RPG's I've ever played, and only loses out on being my favorite Indie game because of Horizon's Gate. The class system is relatively simple but has a surprising amount of depth, and every class feels useful. The skills also have a fair amount of diversity and there aren't any skills that feel useless. This is also one of the few rpg games that I've played where casters and martials actually feel completely balanced, at least by the end game. The time system is also pretty cool. My only warning is that choosing a cleric/mage for your first class can be kind of brutal, at least on your first playthrough. (Also, the story is solid but not especially impressive. The main reason I like the game so much is how mechanically sound/fun it is. If you aren't a big fan of RPG's and only play them for the story you *may* not get the same kind of enjoyment, but if you enjoy turn based games this one is an absolute winner.)
Finally got around to playing this. Scratches that old school rpg itch with a fun open world design. Edit: I finished the base game and DLC and enjoyed the experience.
cool game, has room for improvement though
Bello
So far the game is awesome. Graphics sucks, but besides that it's an awesome game so far. So if you play games only for the graphics, turn around now. But if you want good gameplay, you should try it out. Even try the demo. I went in and bought it straight away, cause why not? :P So now I'm enjoying an awesome old style RPG
Fun game. Music can be maddening rarely. Gameplay is simple on the surface, but you can do some rather amusing combos, and I enjoyed the variety of characters that can join your party. I def got my money's worth
Fantastic Game was a bit lost at first on where to go and what to do since its been awhile since i played a game with so little hand holding but after i got my bearings its been great. Highly recommend if you have experience with this time of game and might update the review after some more hours but if its not updated nothing has changed buy it.
