Reviews around character (3.55 of 5)

  • I also really like the characters, especially Olberic and Cyrus
  • This limits the openness of the game and overpowers your main character, decreasing the challenge of the game as well
  • But, as is the nature of all JRPGs, eventually, EVENTUALLY, all your characters become blisteringly overpowered and nothing stands in your way
  • This game has great emotional stories, great characters, and the best turn based combat system I've laid hands on
  • Say what you will about the disjointed story, but the characters are endearing.
