It kinda continues some of the episodic feeling of fc but some of said episodes are worse like, the hologram projector episode in ch1 (ooh a picture how scary) ch2’s earthquakes and so on and it can at times feel like it has aimless / boring shit and the heroes can sometimes be written to either let villains escape or be overredeeming to them, as well as there being backtracking in the final chapter as well as story cutscenes exclusive to having certain people in the party involving even more backtracking. But that is most of my gripes with it, as the rest of what transpires is great and further realizes its characters like Agate, Joshua, and I think Weissmann is one of my favorite villains in this genre. Very fun turn based combat, Ishibashi’s work here is great, and the gameplay is better than in fc where dungeons and items aren’t as good and the economy is more stingy. Might overall like this more than fc.
