An extremely amazing game that does justice to older SNES titles, (Chrono Trigger being the main one it takes inspiration from)
Currently have all achievements but one that requires me starting a new game
The story, art, characters and music were all amazing helping this game really become an Epic.
Combat is fun, responsive and only gets better and more engaging the more characters you get and the more abilities and options open up to you.
While the story can feel tropey at times, it's does help it with being a love letter to this type of game.
Only issues I have are that, the ending feels lackluster and leaves a major question and not in a good way, also Zale and Valare both feel very flat for a majority of the game, it's only really post Sea of Stars that I feel like they start becoming proper fleshed out characters.
I do think the game is amazing in every other aspect to forgive these things


Spoilers
Rash'en and Aephorul's dynamic was an absolute joy to see unfold although the game kind of drops off with it at the end as there's no real conclusion, you beat Aephorul then him and Rash'en just walk away, no payoff for all the suffering he's caused. The true ending is very sweet.
