    So to start off I'm early game!
    I will drop the game for the following reasons so don't expect an update.
    In my personal opinion the game looks and plays like a PS2 HD remaster (not remake). Reminds me of Suikoden iV with its stiff and awkward animations. Story is your run of the mill RPG sobby sobby. Dialogues so far range from try hard funny to ouchi cringy. After the prologue,    So to start off I'm early game!

    After the prologue, once you get your first taste of the open map/world you're blown back to dragon age 3.
    Empty and lifeless you run and collect shiny stuff or kill some animals that keep to themselves for... other stuff.
    Do some fetch quests, get a mount (the idle anmation OMG THE IDLE ANIMATION OF THESE KITTIES... you laugh at first but that turns into horror and despair once you realize how the poor animal must feel running or jumping or run-jumping on an imaginary treadmill 24/7)...

    So far so meh, what killed it for me though it the level progression.
    It is somehow capped by the story progression?!?!!

    You want to waste some time and level your char so you can breeze through the next 2 chapters?
    Forget it, once you reached a certain level you can't go further until you do some of the quest's / story.
    That might be a bug but I don't care anymore.

    Leaving it a 5 cuz small indy dev, kickstarter fanism etc so (Fana)ticks are only half mad at me ^^

    After 1 hour in i already lost interest and incentive to keep going.
    Graphics are little better then Roblox, bonus objectives in battles sometimes make 0 sense, fetch quest right from the start send you to points miles away to get some measly coins or exp that might not even be given to you due to the stupidest lvl cap i've seen in a long time.

    This is for sure an indie game, some UX decisions, some of the crafting decisions, they are really odd for sure. I think this company has potential though, I really like the characters and while the story for sure took a dive I see what they were going for.

    I am looking towards the next game, this is an ok first attempt but you this aint it.

    Good Combat, Good Graphic, but Bad story. Crafting system/Crystal system is not polished enough. Main Story and Side quests both are boring. MC is rude and jackass, this turn me off. Who would like this kind of MC ? how do devs think it is cool for MC to act like promatic child ? I played for 12-15 hrs but could not continue due to boredom and game start feel like chore. Map is too huge,Good Combat, Good Graphic, but Bad story. Crafting system/Crystal system is not polished enough. Main Story and Side quests both are boring. MC is rude and jackass, this turn me off.

Map is too huge, take a lot of time to traverse. The fact that i geneously give a 7 is because combat is great and graphic is better than I thought, make it an average ok game.… Expand

    The overall feel of the game is great and I would recommend it to any fan of the RPG genre. Some things seemed out of place for the type of RPGs I like to play but each person has their own preferences. Midgar Studio did a fantastic job of putting this title together.

    The strongest point of this fantasy/sci-fi jRPG is definitely its very good turn-based combat capable of surprising you with creative encounters. The narrative has some memorable moments, but be aware that it is entirely linear. However, I do not condemn that decision, because it does suit the road movie-like story. What Edge of Eternity lacks the most is its own identity and the developers’ courage to do things their way instead of copying Final Fantasy and other Square titles. It could also use a better engine, more suitable for such a complex game. [08/2021, p.62]

    Once you get past the surface, the environments are lacking in engaging activities, largely consisting of requests to hunt a certain amount of monsters with gradually diminishing returns. [Issue#361, p.108]
