Every now and again a game will come and just completely surprise you. I had only heard about this game from some random people on Twitter, praising it as one of, if not the best JRPG indie game in existence. When you hear people say things like "it's inspired by X game" for an indie game, it usually is true to some extent, but never really captures that magic of what it's trying to emulate.

Not only is this game reminiscent of SNES JRPGs like FF6 and Chrono Trigger (it wears the latter inspiration on its sleeve), it also creates its own identity strong enough to rival those games and leave you wanting more from the world you get to experience.

I would say that my only gripe with it is that the crystal system is far too RNG to be worth farming a lot (I only had enough patience to perfectly spec out one character). The benefits are great (you don't even need crystals to beat the hardest boss in the game) but the time investment is too much.

That said, everything else, the combat, music, characters worldbuilding and story, were all top notch. I truly hope this game gets a sequel. It is truly one of the best JRPGs I have played in a very long time.
