Jan. 2025

Absolutely beautiful art and design. Pretty decent game-play and a captivating story/world. Also cute talking frog. There are a few moments where dialogue does not match text, but that's rare and does not detract from the game-play.

I recommend this game if you find it interesting or intriguing from the trailers, images, and/or content about it online. I'd get it on a discount just to experience the art. It's a very 'basic' game, but it does the basics competently enough and the new stuff is does try are good. Visually it's amazing. I spent a couple of hours just looking it at, traveling to each timeline to see how the art, world and characters change. It does the concept of time travel or seeing past/future really well, there's no overcomplication that can come from dabbling in this topic. The combat is alright. It isn't hard as some people make it up to be. The enemies are pretty simple once you get to learn them, and there's a small level of strategy with what moves to use and how to use the time abilities. I did a small amount of grinding and fought every battle I encountered and I managed just fine. The story and plot isn't anything to right home about. The writing in these kinda games can be an advantage but in this game they played it pretty safe, tho the voice acting is competent and can be really good at times. There's 1 small section at the end of the game that really surprised me in that it tackled a pretty heavy topic/story point and the voice acting for the NPC involved was top notch. Cons for the game are random encounters which some people can dislike. The plot was kinda whatever near the end, and it relies too much on going back to old areas to do stuff and fight similar enemies to ones you fought. There's 2 such sequences in the game and it really hurt the pacing, feels like it's just padding. Enemy design is also very limited, a lot of them, especially bosses, get reused. The game is short enough that it's not that big of a deal. You also move kinda slowly in the world and you do a lotta walking so the slowness really shows. There's a sidequest that's easily missable if you don't immediately go and get it, ruining your true ending/100% run.

Revisited this game after playing it blind on release 3 years ago. Not a bad game all things considered, though I can 100% understand a lot of the criticisms for it. Be warned that the Spiked Keychain is bugged; if you equip it to JKR and use an ability/attack that causes JKR to overheat, the game crashes. Doesn't appear this will be fixed but I'd like to be proven wrong. If you haven't played a lot of JRPGs in the past, it's a good game to get into the genre.

Oct. 2024

I haven't finished this game yet but so far so good. I don't really get why this game has mixed reviews? But I personally like it. The artstyle is bright and beautiful, the story is pretty decent, and the turn-base combat has a cool twist to it like you can parry, crit hit, and bend time to your advantage so it keep you engage most of the time unlike traditional turn-base games. So yeah, I'm really having fun with this game so far.

May 2024

This game was much better than the reviews made it seem. I enjoyed the story and the gameplay. It's a pretty standard turn based RPG combat-wise with somewhat forgiving timed attacks and defends. The story is interesting and doesn't overstay its welcome. I disagree with the reviews I saw mentioning the loading times. They exist but are only about a second long on steam. The random encounters only take about a minute, are not especially difficult, and are not too frequent. I don't know if the issues were fixed in a patch, or if people just can't stand 4-5 random encounters in a dungeon.
