Dcubed Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 Honestly shocked that they aren't just doing a port of the PSP remake. Really? You're gonna remake it from scratch again? Sure! I'll take it!
EEVILMURRAY Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 I think they've gone too far with both ends of the graphical extremes here. Ultra-realistic environments alongside pixel characters which look very washed out and basic looks way too jarring. If they did the characters a bit more... I wanna say Octopath quality (?) it might be less off putting
Julius Posted September 14, 2023 Author Posted September 14, 2023 (edited) Huh, a gameplay trailer suddenly appears! Demo available now, with save data able to be carried over to the full release: Edited September 14, 2023 by Julius
Happenstance Posted December 11, 2023 Posted December 11, 2023 Did anyone ever end up playing this? Looks gorgeous.

I tried the demo last night but found myself a bit put off by the combat. I'm hoping it's just that I need to get used to it because I do still love the look of the game.

Even with the three hour time limit, I didn't shirk any encounters as I intentionally wanted to get a feel for them. They seemed to take care of themselves so I wasn't really able to get much of an idea of what to do (not that I want the demo or the game to have me under the kosh at all times). Especially when you get the second party member, you're in an out of battles before you've barely had the chance to participate. Thought it was cool it's action combat because I wasn't expecting that. 1
