considering i am not a massive rpg person, i really enjoyed the gameplay of this. the fast paced combat keeps you on your feet but also allows you to plan out your next move and assess what the enemies are doing. the story is also really solid, no spoilers but i cried in the first 30 minutes. the characters are really likeable and interesting (mr drippy is a real one). the ghibli animated cutscenes are absolutely breathtaking, each time one came on i was transfixed by the gorgeous hand draw animation. only reason im shelving for the time being is i like to play it with my partner (hi lyd !! <3) and we just havent played it recently. will pick this back up in the near future for sure though.
