Loving this. Put about 6 hours into it so far, started as the thief and have recruited the hunter and the cleric into my party and done their first chapters and just arrived at the scholars town.
I have been dragging it out a fair bit which I tend to do if I'm enjoying a game. That said I'm up to four party members now after 9 hours!I must be zooming through then. Done about 5 hours and already got 5 party members and completed their first chapters. There doesn’t seem to be many side quests or anything away from the story, but perhaps that will change.
I'm 11 hours in so far and I love it so far. It really is a love letter to the golden age of JRPGs. Wonderful soundtrack and the visuals are a really unique and beautiful mix-up 16-bit with papercraft.
My only gripe is over the games technical shortcomings. The frame rate tops out at 30fps, and it really doesn't hold that all that well. Lots of frame drops in the busier areas. It's not good enough, and wouldn't be the case were this a first party title. It takes some of the shine off.
I'm 70 hours into this now! don't know where the times gone. I started with the thief so he's been in my party all the way and I almost always take the scholar with me as I like his skill that shows the enemies weakness, then I always have a healer in my party leaving one space open for the other characters to swap in and out.What's everyone's favourite party then? I've been going slowly, about 9 hours in and have 5 characters.....I can see the scholar, cleric and hunter being staples as I love their skills, although the thiefs skill in towns is obviously great! Found the thief and merchant to be fairly weak in battle though, am guessing that the fighter will round my party out nicely when I get to him?
