I’ve never understood why so many RPGs hide information from the player. Want to know an enemy’s remaining HP or the exact numerical stat boost provided by a certain item? Well, a lot of the time, you’re out of luck — even though that info might help you make a decision on how to build your strategy. It seems like bad design to…
-
Fantastic interface that gives all the important information to the player upfront
-
Excellent graphics featuring Vanillaware's signature painterly style
-
Fun hack-and-slash combat that's easy to get into
-
Simple but addictive alchemy & cooking systems
-
Seeing how individual characters' stories fit into the larger narrative is interesting
-
Superior audio, from Hitoshi Sakimoto's score contributions to a great English voice cast
-
Story could use a bit more humor
-
Cumbersome inventory management
-
Repetition of the same levels & bosses
