Re-translation adds a lot of emotional depth and nuance that enrichens the experience, making it lastingly memorable.

Best characters, nice story arcs with the theme of responsibility, and good hidden lore.

Good villain, nice relationship between the mains, lacks a bit of oomph.

Enjoyed the ride, but it didn't live up to its potential. Great chemistry between cast and cross-media content, overly vast open-world and sidequest system.

Story begins fun and intriguing but quickly becomes a tonal and thematic mess. Big disappointment due to all the hype, to the point it made me spiral into depression.

Worst character-driven story, weak sequel. Interesting gameplay system, but quickly gets tiresome.

Good post-game dungeon.

Neat job system, but it lacks ambition.

A bit rudimentary, but has the classic JRPG exploration staples. One of the first videogame twists.
