So, waifu JRPG :) Don't get me wrong, i have nothing against waifus. Combat looks good. I mean it looks like a legit JRPG battle scene like Persona series. I like the monster designs, the camera angles etc. It all looks good but combat felt straigtforward and kind dull. Also i fail to comprehend how this game takes  850 mbs of disk space. The max file size of a 3d project i made in Unity was like 100 mbs. Anyway nice work

Thanks! :) The game size is because of the multitude of textures, which are randomized to provide variations for both the monsters and the rooms

It was cool to see a turn base combat game, besides my own. The 3D models are cool and the 2D art is really professional looking. The visual effects are really well implemented inside the combat. Overall a good entry. Good luck!

Cool looking game, but janky and slow (sometimes the game just stopped for several seconds without anything happening at all). I'm not a fan of turn based, but I could see a little bit of depth with how some bosses healed themselves or poisoned you, but overall it's a fine game jam game, good job making it.

The game is a bit too jank. I might be biased by the fact that I'm a big JRPG player, but here some of the things I would change.

1. The fights feel too similar, even though the enemy wasn't the same, I didn't sense any difference to them.

2. The camera position when not the players turn is awkward since most of the time you don't fully see the boss.

3. The numbers of skills the characters have is too limited to make the game interesting, maybe a weakness order might of helped with some characters having access to said elements.

But to give you some positive points. I really like the idea of the currency making the boss more difficult the less you have, but also make that currency the way you gain level. I like the artstyle, but I am a bit sad it doesn't show up as well in game.

However, kudos to you for making a JRPG in a month's time.
