This game is quite a bit different from conventional RPGs.
I’m not at all fond of the top-down shoot-’em-up elements, bullet-hell aspects, combo-heavy melee attacks, or save point system. The washed-out color scheme is a turn-off as well. On the other hand I like open world exploration and collecting things quite a bit. Some other positives would be the easily customizable control scheme, access to the Japanese voice acting, cool visual effects, and… that’s all I can think of right now.
Maybe I’ll warm up to it in time.
