xyzzysqrlGod what a fantastic game.
I had other stuff I wanted to say. The localization being not QUITE Working Designs, but firmly in that spirit. The way the game is absolutely on-point, on-theme and on-message with every single character conveying their element of the overarching theme of the game. The light, charming Game Arts characters and plot suddenly taking an extreme dip into super-dark, and then back up and out the other side via the power of anime.
In the end though it boils down to: What a fantastic game. I don't know where I got the impression I was burned completely out on JRPGs. I needed this in my life.
Style Savvy posts will start shortly, I hope. Please look forward to it.
