It has great art both for characters (which are quite fun) and enemies you meet in the game world, which also looks quite fine. The music choice (consists of a very lively and cool original soundtrack and some royalty-free music) is fun and fits the tone.
    I've personally put a lot of hours into completing both the main story quest and the side quests - poking around and exploring is rewarded accordingly. Not to mention there's a lot of dialogue between all the nice, colourful characters. Moreover, there is hours worth of post-game quests.
    In my several playthroughs, I have not encountered much trouble with the game mechanics, although some parts - puzzles, particularly - require quite a bit of trial and error to complete. The highest difficulty setting makes some battles quite hard and may require you to farm random encounters to level up enough, easy is comfortable, normal felt quite optimal and fun.
    While a turn-based RPG, it does have extra activities to offer - fishing, collecting cards within the game, collecting enemy data, fighting challenges, etc, which makes the exeperience rich. Although some technical issues may arise due to the choice of engine (RPG Maker MV), I personally save frequently in my games - just in case - and haven't run into many issues with this one.
    The story, the side stories and lore you may discover while exploring certain parts of the game felt fun and passionate, to my mind. I'd say every player would find something about it to like more or less. To me, it was inspiring and kept me invested.
    Overall, I'd say the game is quite, quite good and was a memorable experience for me.

Not just style over substance, i found it really enjoyable and fun. And surprisingly long for what it is, not to mention the post-game stuff. Expand
