I grew up on classic 16-bit JRPGs but have almost entirely lost my taste for the genre. I still get the desire to play them, but I inevitably put a few hours in and drop out hard. For whatever reason, I gave this one a try and it really stuck for me. Feels like playing an old classic with modern QOL. Great battle systems that keep combat and character building interesting, fun exploration, and a nicely balanced progression that makes everything work together. Engaging and often surprising story and characters as well. It's not perfect, but for a one-man show it has no right to be as good as it is. I'll be 100%-ing this one.
