At this point? What else is there to say...

Incredible presentation, outstanding and realistic writing, fantastic worldbuilding, wonderful characters, fun combat, EXCELLENT player feedback on every hit... Really, it's almost got it all.

At most? Wonky balancing, especially near the end of the game. But it more than makes up for it with a JUICY post-game and some great ludonarratively harmonious moments. Also not TOO keen on some of the character animations, both in-combat and out of it, but this is a AA team on their first Unreal project, engine woes are very understandable.

Also, the classic Final Fantasy inspiration shows VERY obviously, and I say this in the most endearing way possible. Passion for Turn-based JRPGs oozes from every fiber of every mechanical and systemic decision of this game. <3

My GOTY for sure, and I'm really happy I got to experience this. Turn-based JRPGs have always been very much alive, but this gem kicked them up to eleven. Can't wait for the next one in the series, this is a modern classic IMO!
