The game that started my JRPG Journey at the dawn of the COVID-19 pandemic. It's a little difficult to rate this objectively, but I will do the best I can. This was a very accessible JRPG to a person who had never played one seriously prior. The story and characters were admittedly a little basic, but very well executed, with a third act that improved what would otherwise be a disappointing end to the game. Combat was entertaining, however, it boiled down to spamming the same tactics over and over again to destroy your foes, with little variation until the third act bosses force you to adapt. The average sidequest was terrible, hardly useful or worth your time, as they always amounted to little more than fetch quests through previously cleared areas. Where this game truly succeeds is in Akira Toriyama's art style and the OST, though battle themes began to get repetitive. I love this game for bringing me into the fold, but it isn't perfect.
