Make no mistake, it’s a fully modern game, but a lot of it feels like an homage to the JRPGs the developers grew up with. Lost Odyssey is obviously a big influence on the combat while having much more modern cinematography, enemies and npcs have traces of Shadow Hearts to them while being gorgeously rendered, the overworld has lovingly oversized characters and npcs accentuated by a tilt-shift effect - it all beautifully emphasise the slightly retro-magical setting.
I’m only 5 or 6 hours in and I’m absolutely confident this is my GOTY.

Truer words are difficult to come by. I’m loving it fully, enjoying each battle and cutscene more than the last
