Wow! This game sucks! I hate timed battles! Not only that the 4 kappa's kill you and you can't do shit because they steal your time! Who the fuck thought this game would be fun?

Art 3/5
Sound 4/5
Game Play 1/5

The whole game play system is just bad. It is not fun it's just the opposite.

l do not know what is worse, a story and its character being introduced with not a lot of interest making you skip every text, combat where you do not know what is happening and you just do the combat and then suddenly the difficulty spikes so you get enemies that are tanks and fights can last for an indefinite time or each time combat starts, you have to wait through an animation but since when the animations starts, the frame drops to 11 and you have to sit through a slow animation EACH time combat starts. Perhaps the only good thing is gender selection but what would be the point of it, if the story has no essence or no tension.

Why l get the feeling only Persona 3(and Portable)made me watch each text and conversation without boredom even when it is linear and not to mention, each time that l was in combat, l had fun from it and felt like teamwork was used in every fight. l do not know, guess l really want to relive that experience with other games but it seems my expectations are too high.

There is one thing for certain, old games were and are the future, in my opinion, there is something about them that makes them enjoyable to watch and/or play. There are also some things that old games have where modern games really lack these characteristics, which can not be explained unless you experienced it yourself.
Seems like it could be an exciting game but l sadly have to pass. When my interest drops from just the start of the game(playing the first 15 mins), l believe there is a fundamental issue at hand but that could only occur in my experience, perhaps other people will have a different experience.

The entire Final Fantasy franchise.
Realtime battle system in RPGs were used before you were born. Deal with it.
Can you even call Final Fantasy as a Realtime battle system? When the bar reaches the end, it's your turn.l

In this game, it's whoever clicks the fastest. You can go into menus to pick spells and the bar will keep going for your enemies, when it reaches the end, they can still hit you when you're in a goddamn menu.

Read what Lerd0 said.
In Final Fantasy is exactly as in this game, you can be hit even when you are in the menu choosing skills to use, you just never played any RPGs with realtime battle system.

And them are done with a controller! f You can ot do a stupid realtime battle system with keyboards! It takes so long to choose action that it costs you damage.. These type of games are not meant for stupid realtime battle systems. Controller has a bunch of buttons to do actions.. this combat is just plain stupid and difficult to navigate.. the auto system is even worse you can have it use ONLY skills or ONLY attacks.. you can't survive ANY battle with just one or the other.

Worst system I have seen for a game that is based on keyboard.

The game is pretty damn hard if you've only fought the on screen enemies like I did the first time I fought those kappas, which is about level 3, but it IS doable, if rather dependant on the luck side.

So far the best you could do in the Kappa fight is switch Ashe's TP Mode to Recycler so he/she could Spam Vampiric Blade which helps his/her survivalibility. Mina does next to no damage so she's full on healing. Ashe's first turn MUST use Summon: Arco/Summon: Piggu to not only spread the damage on your allies, but to be the third healer/damage dealer.

If you're still a bit stuck, there's a Trainee Crystal/Fleshlight in your room that adds a measly 3 more damage than what you start with, which is better than nothing and there's an easy button puzzle for a store that sells cheap/slightly better armor along with the Ring of Guts that increases the charge rate for TP and it has a treasure chest which contains a Super Wine, which you can either save for a boss fight to recover your teams TP, or sell for 10,000. Save attacking the slime and birds in the starter town until you get Mina so she can get the Exp as well.

For some extra reference, Male Ashe uses Ice and Water spells while Female Ashe uses Fire and Wind. Both start with an AoE spell. You can grind for exp in Hermits Cove as the enemies there are (so far) the slimes which you'll need to do anyways as the cat should have started as a level 1. Note that a level up restores that person's HP/MP which is handy.

I will share that fighting with the mouse is stupid as hell, but the keyboard is doable.

Nah, you're wrong, everything that isn't console exclusive has majority of players on PC, Keyboard And Mouse are supreme, you just can't use them. If this system aren't ment for them, why FF franchise is so popular?

You guys ever heard of Final Fantasy? Try playing one of that franchise games, you'll understand how stupid your complains about this game's battle system sound.

My issue with this game's fights is that the enemy does stat attacks way too often. There was one battle when I issued no commands and the entire fight was done by the cat because my characters were too busy being stunlocked. The robot at the guardian HQ with the party-wide confusion spell was awful too. This kind of shit isn't fun or challenging, it's just annoying and frustrating.
EDIT: I've just went through yet another fight consisting of watching my characters hit eachother because of chain AOE consfusion spells untill they died. Didn't have the opportuny to issue a single command the entire time. Holy shit, this is some nasty bad design.

Another reason why l stopped playing this game, this game managed to have a tiresome, unfair and monotonous combat experience which really quickly made me go away, the absence of difficulty selection is also worrying, l often get a feeling something isn't going right when there is no difficulty selection in an RPG game.

Like i can enjoy combat if there is a point or it serves a purpose of plot or story or SOMETHING.............there isn't a point to this at all except to pad time out and fuck that.
you get a single nudie pic after a good chunk of time and thats even IF you don't grind. which then you're just relying on luck.

its just to grind and pad time out. and im way too old for that kind of bullshit. Is the design of a action combat system bad? no. but the design to just pad time out is fucking horrendous and i thought we was past this shit in 2021. evidently not.

to the recycling bin it goes!

if i wanted to spend 1 hour for a barely moving 2.5/5 star art drawing. I can connect my computer to dial-up and load up a basic bitch hentai site.
