This has got to be the most cheesiest B movie game I've ever played. But I loved it. The game was honestly something special. I did not expect anything this game had to offer in it's plot.
Mostly because I...uh didn't play the first game. This has to be like the third or fourth time I've done this. I personally don't search up information about a game because I wanna go in blind. Sure I played the demo but it gave a completely different feel from the full game. Anyways back to my feelings on the game.
The music was ok, I didn't hate it but I can't say I had a song I really liked or love. The dungeon design was pretty lame, they were just simple paths (sometimes with puzzles) and splits leading to the treasure. And that was it, so yeah dungeon exploring is one of the worst part of this game. The second and last worst part of the game is random encounters. They're all ready annoying, especially on hard. I literally just grinded up a bunch in the ghost place and then turned off encounters for the rest of the game (aside one other area).
Now onto the gameplay. It was fantastic, I loved playing with classes and the Bravely/Default mechanic. I loved it so much I decided I was going to 100% this game. Unfortunately that resulted in burnout. So while I was burnt out from this game I had started and finished FFV before finishing this game. So I can comment on which game did the class system game the best.
Both. They are really good in their own ways. I genuinely cannot choose one over the other.
Second to last, the story. I will say the pacing pretty rough. Especially with them giving a just cause for every "villain". It can get pretty long and odd within the monologues. But regardless, it was alright. It gave me B movie vibes as I said before but it didn't downright ruin anything for me. I actually like the side quest stories way more than the main one, not gonna lie. They had a heavy amount of intrigue to them, especially the E's and Yew's finales.
Finally the characters. They were pretty damn good. I really loved how easy it was to see and tell they were friends with each other with needing side events. Seems to be something that's hard for stories to do for some reason. And party chat and camp event, were pretty fun. I will say I got kind of tired of the food joke tropes after the first time but I'm just not a fan of that trope. I really loved E and Magnolia. They felt really well written. Not that Yew and T didn't , they had their share of cool moments too. I just enjoyed E and Magnolia more.
Either way TLDR I still plan on 100% this game. I truly did have a fun time. And would recommend anyone to play this, especially the side quests. And yes I plan on playing the first game.
