This JRPG is supposed to be the "love letter to JRPGs" from Midgar studio. It just hit Game Pass today. No takers? About to download it in a minute.

I'm not gonna lie it looks mediocre as hell but why not? Cost nothing.

I played a tiny bit of this. I will continue with it but it certainly isn't amazing. At this point its good enough to not yet drop.

looks like one of those korean scam games
I think it was made by like 20 people. It's actually impressive for such a small team. I've seen indie games look way worse. They're still making those blurry looking pixel art games that were a product of the tech limitations at the time.

This game is straight to me. It reminds me of a Xbox 360 level JRPG like Infinite Undiscovery. It's basically an imitation of lower budget generic JRPG. If you like the genre you'll likely be ok with this. I'm about 5 hours in. Like it way better than Cris Tales which I ended up dropping. I feel like I'll finish this. If I was buying this I'd spend no more than $20 on it. For free on Game Pass is best.

:mjlol:It started out as a kickstarter game being developed by one person. Once it exceeded the kickstarter and went viral, it got pushed back for almost a decade, which a bunch of shyt promised to being added to it as well as more people working on it. If you find the original demos and trailers for the game, it actually looked better before.

I thought about copping but it all seemed bland and just meh looking. Some of these games choose the wrong time to drop

:mjlol:The voice acting is coo, but the animations and character models look like shyt.

:mjlol:My main nitpick is that nasty ass battle system. Making it a grid was a terrible decision. It's clunky and pointless. It just makes battles take 10 times longer for no reason.
