peak in the sky

Really great JRPG. Story is a massive slow burn with no big plot changes for like the first 80% of the game, but it's really well done. Not that surprising considering this is a multi-series JRPG with whole story told in like 8 games. Combat is very fun, you are not forced into turn based combat by some trash 1lvl mob hitting you once, you can choose when you want to initiate or not so no need to farm dozens of hours of trash mob packs for no reason like in some JRPGs to artificially prolong the game. The turn based combat itself is also very good with a lot of options, positioning ,resource managing and very cool looking flashy animations. Quite a lot of re-used assets for NPCs, but all the unique NPCs are well done and voice acted for the most part.

They updated the localization, including VOICED LINES, in response to player criticism. Now, the pronunciations (and more) are consistent with the rest of the series. VERY unexpected and appreciated improvement, so the game deserves the good review. Great game. Combat: The COMBAT IS FUN and interesting. This is the most important part of a JRPG, by far. I utilized most of the mechanics throughout the entire game, from items to normal attacks to buffs and shields and the 3 different offensive skill types. (In contrast to most games, where you just spam the best skills.) Story: The story is mostly for worldbuilding, as a prologue to the 2nd game. But there are a few great characters to appreciate. Simple, loved by some, but maybe a little boring. The sequel story should be peak, so this is more of the buildup to a future payoff. Good final dungeon and good ending. Other: Quality of life features are here (speed up the game by 200-400%, raise the difficulty mid game, etc..) Low PC requirements. The music and scenery get a bit repetitive and boring. Good art style. Seems to be true to the source material (NOT crammed with corporate HR slop!) You can play the demo for free for several hours before buying.
