This game holds a very special place in my heart. Going into GameStop in 2012 looking for Xenoblade, I came across this instead, not knowing this was part of the Operation Rainfall collection. I picked it up despite not seeing the greatest reviews online and I ended up playing it to Death, multiple times over.
I'm not going to act like it's perfect: it has quite a few bugs and jank. It even has an unfinished sidequest built into the game where the map dosent render fully. This happens every time I do this one particular sidequest. It has a somewhat cliche story. The gameplay is fairly simple and level ups don't mean much late game. It also dosent run the best in some areas.
That said, this game is so beautiful. Soundtrack, incredible. The characters are fantastic. Superb voice acting. The setting, the style, it's all stunning. And it has a great amount of content. Even coming back to this game so many times over, I kept finding secret areas and sidequests I never explored before.
There is just so much to love here. It is not the most amazing game but it's charming and great as is. Highly reccomend.
