    Not a bad JRPG, but also not a game I could recommend to everyone. However, if you are an enthusiast of RPG games, you would find here an innovative vision about the genre.

There's no getting around the frustrating load times, but these are primarily disruptive during dungeons.

Fortunately, you can save anywhere on the overworld map and save spots in towns and dungeons are numerous. I'm excited to see how it all comes together, so please look forward to the full review posting soon, I suppose in a future slice of time.

Being forced to wait 10-15 seconds before and after each battle just makes me want to quit playing. Full Review »
