Adore AT so just being in this world and being with the characters is almost enough for me. Almost. But unfortunately the game is plagued with multiple flaws.
Firstly, it just feels rushed and kinda half arsed. Only 10 hours to beat, including all side missions, is super short. Most of the amazing AT characters never even make an appearance, or only briefly pop up. The map is very small, with only around 3 or 4 main areas, with a couple of small islands. The option to not include fast travel is indicative of a design to make the game stretch out too, so half the game time is spent riding around in your boat, which is slow and cumbersome to control in itself. You include fast travel, or make the boat faster, and youve got a 5-6 hour game here. Also the map fucking sucks, the curser feels weighed down by lead.
Gameplay is ok. Standard RPG turn based mechanics, you got attacks, specials, and items. Fights never feel very exciting or challenging.
Graphics are colourful and bright. Voice acting is the highlight here, the amazing voice actors from AT are here, and they carry the game when the game itself kinda sucks.
There's no replay value here, there's very little incentive to complete side quests. The whole game just feels rushed and fairly uninspired. Oh and the ending sucks, its like a 1 minute cut scene that attempts to set up a sequel without really tying up anything in a satisfying way.
Really, just such a missed opportunity here.
