I just checked for you, and all the Language options are there in-game. So it must be a small error on the store page.

So is it a WJRpg? Or an TBWJRpg. Or what about TBWIJstrategicRPGAdventure?

Textures, audio, models & animation data. These things are already compressed, so to reduce game size any further would require sacrificing quality. But then, I'm sure you're aware we already had this conversation. You seemed to be of the opinion that you're OK with worse quality, so everybody should be OK with it (for some reason). This isn't the 80s/90s anymore, and time and technology marches on.

no spanish language?

Never implied JRPG can't be made outside Japan, or that it being made in Japan makes it better or something, was just curious if it's really Japanese game, because (sadly) GOG has very few of those here.

Non-Japanese JRPG, IMO. Rant if you've got insomnia:

There are a handful of other games that emulate the JRPG style of games and that were made outside of JP or by non-JP gamedevs. Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, FF, FFT, and Paper Mario clones, etc. are some other examples like Battle Chasers (US), Bug Fables (Panama), Cosmic Star Heroine (US), CrossCode (Germany), Undertale (US) etc. Then there are non-mainstream cases that will need their own differentiation like JP immigrants and emigrants, multiple studio collaborations, international talent, etc. already present in some other games like FF9 (Japan / US), The Last Story (Japan / US), Fantasian (Japan / US), Child of Light (Canada + JP artist), and Astria Ascending (Canada / French + JP writer and composer).

As per KISS principle, easier to call it a genre style and tag where it's been made. Adding Japanese elements to a game is easy to do for anyone deep in the genre, culture, storytelling, and artwork. That includes this game, Chained Echoes (Germany), and Wolfstride (Brazil). In general, they're pretty welcoming of more international competition to evolve their fields and genres - I can speak from experience having lived there and actually talking to some of them. Not to mention the non-JP minorities behaving more Japanese than some of their own population.

Anyway, back on topic. Very interesting, can't wait for full reviews to come out for this game before buying. Maybe if it gets enough sales, they'll add in JP voice acting too?

Check the comment of TomNuke. He explains that the languages are in the game. Probably an error in the store page.

Remember that Miraculous Lady Bug is also a French made show and it's pretty successful as well. Also French is more weeb than USA. Unlike that crunchyroll so called "anime"

I wish that devs who use cross-platform toolkits would release on multiple platforms. Linux, in particular. To be fair, though, wine-4.0.3+dxvk seems to run the game perfectly (I haven't tried any other versions of wine).

I was concerned about the ATB meter, but unlike real ATB, enemies can't take multiple turns while you're fumbling through the menus (only one action per turn). I'm not sure, but I think it even pauses when it's one of your characters' turn. It's hard to tell when the tutorial keeps pausing things, and I didn't play long enough to verify. Maybe later.

LoL, I suppose you can call it an AWDGFFITSOAJSCRPG...

IE A Western Developed Game From France In The Style Of A Japanese Computer Role Playing Game! :)

Well, any game with a main character could be considered a “role” so perhaps we need multiple levels of categorisation underneath that as well...

Happy to see this game here on GOG as well. Putting the Deluxe Edition on my wishlist. :-)
I found this playthrough made few hours ago, maybe it can help. I don’t believe there are already some trustworthy reviews, which spent more than few hours on the game though. So it might not give you all the answers you need.

OwO, thx!

My god, you're right, how about this: An aWDGFFITSOAJOCROaPAIaSaSBG!

IE: A Western Developed Game From France In The Style Of A Japanese Originated Computer Role Of a Particular Actor In a Specific Attribute Stats and Skill-Based Game! :)

I'd still like answers to the questions I asked earlier in this thread.
