Simply put the most heartwarming game I might’ve ever played in my life. As I fall deeper into the Atelier rabbit hole, Gust has been instrumental in giving me some of the freshest & most memorable experiences when it comes to comforting RPGs & Blue Reflection: Second Light is the best of the bunch. It’s been a while since something has made me smile as much as this did whether it was the beautifully crafted heartscapes or the wonderfully written characters. This is a really lovely game which reminded me of why sometimes simplicity is beautiful in itself with this genre.

Also based Gust for giving an ACTUALLY well developed lesbian couple?? Which doesn’t feel tacked on for brownie points?? And serves the narrative?? Unheard of in modern gaming I tell you.

Honestly I really struggle to find any issues I have with this game & any ones I do have are nitpicks & nothing major that detract from my overall enjoyment. This is just a really charming piece of art & well worth playing if you’re into JRPGs & looking for something truly special. I simply adore this game. Play it.
