I really wanted to like this game. I am a huge fan of Monoliths entire Xeno franchise, I love jrpgs, and even have a soft spot for deck builders. However this game is just not fun. Somehow both rushes you, and bores the hell out of you. You have very strict time limits to select your attacks and defense cards, and outside of the obvious deck builder problem of bricking and just not having anything to do in the turn, you can easily sabotage yourself since if you use attacks of opposite elements, you nerf your overall damage, and same with using defense cards of the same element as the enemy attack. Every animation takes so incredibly long every fight takes multiple minutes every playing perfectly and boss fights can take upwards of half an hour.

I watched the opening and was kind of diassapointed that they redubed it, but then started playing and realized they took out the english dub all together. I'm pretty hung up on this, i really like that dub. dont know if i still want to play this, which is a shame because the remaster seems to be presented very well besides that.
