It's just fun. If you want a game with lots of freedom and deep combat that feels like the fever dream of a FF3/FF5 fan, then this is a game I think you'll love. If you want a deep story...it doesn't really have that, but there's a little something here that pops up from time to time. Really this game is about the exploration, the fights, tinkering with your party's builds, and even some solid laughs. Sometimes a game just clicks for you, and for me this is one of those games. Plus it's super inexpensive and has mod support! It's great!

Good recent FFV job system combined with 2.5D platforming.

What an absolute journey, this game really embodies the essence of adventures. With an expansive world to explore and plenty treasure chests rewarding the curious. Not to mention the many wonderful songs playing as you go (if i could, I'd buy it to listen to). The combat offers a deceptively interesting system, with a handful of classes to play around with. This game offers a challenge, a journey and a story you make yourself - since there really isn't a deep one other than the overall theme. I can highly recommend this to any rpg lovers

Very good game with tons of exploration, secret areas and just secrets overall. old-school final fantasy-like jobs and battles and good challenging battles. 100% recommend

Just finished my first playthrough and got all achievements at just under 50 hours of playtime. Incredible game for the price.

Moddable and playable!

If you like Minecraft parkour or final fantasy 1 you will love this game.

I think the game i extremely solid but I do have a number of caveats First, the combat is excellent. I feel like the rate at which you get new abilities, items and classes keeps things super fresh for most of the game. I recommend mastering as many classes as possible rather than trying to keep an optimal party all the time. There is a system where the levels you get in a class influence your characters stats, but you can respec that at any time (kind of makes me wonder why its a thing in the first place and they don't just let you choose what stats to level but this isn't really a problem). I guess my only other problem with the combat would be that some of the late game classes are pretty redundant like dervish or valkyrie, but thats a bit of a nitpick and probably adds variety in randomized runs. Aside from great combat though, there's a few points of friction for me. I think the open world is mostly a missed opportunity. For most of the game its pretty cool climbing stuff where yo...
