My fiance had been bugging me to play this game for ages, but I didn't really get around to it until they finally bought the collector's edition of this Switch remaster. I am glad I waited for this better edition, and I am also SO glad I finally played this game.
This is easily one of the most beautiful games I have played. The locations are stunning, vast, and creative -- the first time you see Satorl Marsh at night, you'll really think, oh, wow. This game is gorgeous. And the soundtrack is absolutely to die for. I have been listening to it nonstop...in fact, I am right now...
But beyond just the lovely visuals and sound, this is one of the rare JRPGs where I truly love every single party member. They are genuinely all great characters with charming personalities and a close bond that ties them all together. None of them ever got on my nerves, not even the cutesy mascot character -- actually, I LOVE Riki and I think he is adorable! We love that Dadapon!!!
The story seems predictable at first but it gets buckwild as things go on. About 2/3 of the way through I was yelling WTF at my TV. And the combat is so fun! It takes a bit to get used to the battle system, but once you do, you will be kicking ass.
Overall, I cannot believe how good this game is...actually, OK, I can, because many people had been telling me it was great for a long time. But I'm so glad I experienced it all in a more refined form, and I would encourage any JRPG fan to do the same. This game RULES. Now, if you'll excuse me, I am busy jamming out to Mechonis Field...
