    The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is the sprites look out of place without being updated. Other than that, it is great.

    One of the best RPG’s I’ve played this year. Only flaw is the voice acting and load times.

    Amazing JRPG. Switch owners who enjoy games OCTOPATH Traveler1 or 2 and Live A Live, should definitely check this one out!

    I never had the opportunity to play the OG PS1 version of this game but after playing the demo for the remake I can honestly say this is one of the best JRPG Remakes in a long time.

    False advertising, download required

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Best Buy false advertising. Claims the entire game is on the cartridge, and doesn’t show the true cover of the game which has a label on it showing “download required”. I only bought it because I thought the entire game was on the cartridge. When I tried to return, they said I was past return date. Bad customer service Best Buy. You’re better off buying digital, don’t support shady business like Best Buy.

    "Download required" label missing from BestBuy.com

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Had an order for in store pick-up to find out this game requires a download. The BestBuy.com page lacks the "download required" label on the listing. If Square can't put the full experience on the cartridge they don't deserve your money.
