Hilarious writing, immersive battle mechanics, enchanting presentation, diverse world design. All important aspects for a great role play adventure are turned to 11 in one of the very best NGC gems.

Don’t get fooled by the cute and simple looking gameplay, the fights deliver exceptional tactical depth with mechanics and possibilities that get never explained by the game, but are just for the player to be revelated (for example that the fog that makes the attacks of all fighters go into the blue can be blown away by Madame Flurrie with a perfect timing that the enemies take all the disadvantages that come with this event.)

The exceptional turn-based gameplay is perfectly met by the level’s riddles, reaction required events and metroidvania-like exploring elements. The world and their characters are as much alive as they are made out of paper, which is a triumph in itself.

The timeless art style does not age and the catchy score supports the magical and often mysterious atmosphere which is just the icing of the top of a great main story and the diverse and exciting sub-plots of all regions that you will visit on your journey through this delicious adventure.

10 out of 10: In my opinion the best JRPG and turn-based game of all time!
