The new saga of the Zemurian continent begins, this time in Calvard, and it's one of the best games in the series to date, without a doubt. In summary, our protagonist this time is a mercenary/jack-of-all-trades who, due to various factors, ends up helping a girl recover something important to her.

In terms of gameplay, this game implemented a real-time combat system that was very interesting and gave a fresh feel to the game, making it more dynamic. Being able to move during turn-based battles, similar to what happens in Yakuza: Like a Dragon, for example, was a great addition to the game. With graphics that are undoubtedly more beautiful than the previous ones, in terms of graphics, UI, gameplay, absolutely everything, it's the best game Falcom has ever made by far, only falling behind in my opinion to the most recent Ys games.

In terms of story, this game follows the classic Falcom style, full of characters with their own stories and objectives that you get to know better throughout your journey. Unlike previous games in the Zemurian saga, where the first game tends to be more introductory as it presents the world and the characters, in this one, the story is already incredibly interesting. I can't wait for them to translate Kuro 2!
