Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Great remake of a 90s Square-Enix RPG
This game was awesome! I never played the original but I love the 2D-HD art style. It's a bit more detailed in graphical fidelity than Octopath Traver 1+2. As far as gameplay is concerned, it's an action rpg. I can compare it to how the Tales Of games are. The story is great and the voice acting is good. I had a couple of laughs during my playthrough. If you enjoy classic RPGs from the 90s, this won't dissapoint.

Great Game.
I played it when I was little didnt really know what was happening. Every so often I thought about buying a ps1 to play this game so when I saw it for the switch I instantly preordered it. And I can say I love it. I love the pixel graphics and the scenery is amazing.
