I love this game. It is my idea of the PERFECT JRPG!! So I recommend it based on that. HOWEVER, I also recommend that you WAIT before you pay for it. If you can get it free, or for less than five bucks, great then it's worth it. BUT there is a huge problem with a bug that still isn't fixed a year and a half after launch. ANYTIME you have a transition where the game needs to load a new screen, there is about a 5% chance of having it crash to the desktop. And then you lose all your progress since your last save. So if you play it, SAVE OFTEN!! This bug might happen when you're entering combat, or when you beat the monsters so now the game is reloading the main game screen after combat, or when you fast-travel between continents, or when you are entering/exiting the world map, or when you are walking from one screen to another screen within a local zone. It's terrible. And then the further into the game you get, the BIGGER that chance of crash gets. I made to the Arturis level, almost 2/3 of the way into the game, and now it crashes 20% of the time. It's ALMOST unplayable like this, and it is definitely VERY FRUSTRATING. So yes the game is fantastic and I'll tell you why. But you might want to wait until they fix this one stupid bug before you pay for it. The plot: you play a group of kids who enjoy video games. They just started playing a MMO that is insanely popular, and they want to speed-run to reach max level. Some of the action takes place IRL in a fictional city where they all live as neighbors. But most of the game happens inside the MMO. The writing: (for the English translation at least) is pretty good, the humor is there. The game makes fun of itself and other MMO games and gamers quite a bit, in a tongue-in-cheek sort of way, but the jokes are never too corny to the point of feeling juvenile or stupid. The questing: never feels like "work" but there is a little bit of a grind to it if you want all the achievements. There are main story quests that lead you through the game, and side quests as well that give you additional rewards and help you score achievements. But they're not all "fetch quests" or "kill X number of monsters" a lot of them put a fresh spin on the side quest thing. The graphics: are pretty good, but not so much that you need a NASA supercomputer to run it. It's cute. The music: is okay for a video game soundtrack. But after a while it gets a bit repetitive so I put on some Soundcloud and turned the game music off. The combat: is FUN, turn-based, and skills-based. But it is also REALLY easy. Like, you have to do something very wrong to get a game over in this one. But they do have a "hard mode" if you want a bit more of a challenge. They want the focus to be on the story and the exploration of the world, and combat is just there to mix things up, and in that sense it works really well in my opinion. Each of your characters has their own set of skill trees, and you can switch your skills around ANYTIME, FOR FREE!! So if Logs as his default water-bender isn't getting it done for you, you can just refund all his skill points and make him an air-bender instead, or whatever. You start out as a member of the Empire faction. There are two other player factions and one NPC faction in the game, too. And the whole point of the story is that your group starts your own Guild and decides to play as "factionless" meaning you switch factions repeatedly instead of playing through the whole game as the Empire. For a LONG TIME in the beginning, you'll only be in the Empire. But then you will have FORCED opportunities to change factions, until you complet a story arc for each faction. Then you unlock the ability to switch factions at will. Certain side quests require you to be in a certain faction, so Empire quests can't be completed if you're in the Coalition or the Order, etc. So basically you swap factions in order to cherry-pick the quest lines that give you the best rewards, instead of being loyal to one faction. This allows you to levelup faster than anyone else ever has before!! Bottom line: it is FUN and I LOVE IT. But that crash-to-desktop bug just absolutely kills the game for me. I wrote to the developer and reported it, got a canned reply that says they are aware of the bug and are still working on a patch to fix it... 18 months after official release. So i'm not sure if I'm going to finish the game because of that bug... but I had a lot of fun up to this point.
