Easily one the greatest and finely crafted Strategy RPG's ever made,but it's also without a doubt the most brutally difficult game i've ever played and makes Thracia 776 look like a cakewalk.And it makes me very,very sad to be softlocked on the final chapter due to mismanaging my money and units.I'll definitely replay this with my current understanding of the game,and probably up it to a 5 star.It's Kaga's best game,and combines everything good about Genalogy of The Holy War and Thracia 776,while also introduces a lot of it's unique ideas.I would love to write a more comprehensive review,but i guess i'll save it to my replay.God bless Kaga,you sociopath son of a bitch

An esoteric exploration of metaphysical laws. Direct sequel of Eastern Mind, using the same engine and continuing the story. While shorter, it's very polished and filled with details, making for a really enjoyable experience, albeit more streamlined compared to its predecessor.

Like in Eastern Mind, Osamu Sato takes us into a land of primitive colors and forms, where the sensorial talks in ways no other games could replicate. Accompanying the already strange visuals, you have one of the most unique and impressive soundtracks, which mixes traditional oriental music with 90s experimental electronic, even nowadays it hasn't aged a bit. And on top of these bizarre forms and music, there's the strangely familiar personalities of the characters, even though they and the world they live works completely different from ours(or not?) they aren't hard to relate, as matter of fact the whole game has a sort of simplicity in its interactions that somehow bridges these strange worlds with us, consolidating the experience.
