Fantastic release, glad to have this game in everyone else hands because it's definitely worth experiencing. The gameplay is pretty smooth, around Yakuza 0 standards. The music is phenomenal, especially towards the end and every character is well acted. I haven't finished the original so as for the recasting I dont have much of a say but everyone who was new to this game is a welcome addition. The visuals sre beautiful, they really did well with the lighting here, models and textures are high quality and for a 2014 game the animations are good. The card system is fine, I wish there was a way to disable it though, would have liked the bosses not to shoot beams and swords but whatever. The UI is a little bulky too, the cards dont need ro be on screen at all times no? The pause menu is also kinda unresponsive, backing out of the ability menu or using restoration items takes way too long. Otherwise a great RGG game, definitely play it.
