Hey there. I played your game sometime ago and I remember enjoying it, so I am replaying it again (I wish I kept my original save file since I never got the chance to finish it, but it's fun to redo it and that means still new things to experience). I still find myself enjoying it just as I did the first time. If anyone is wondering whether the game is worth your time, I would say yes. It seems pretty basic on the surface, but despite that, there's is so much to offer. Freely being able to travel continents and do quests in any order is awesome. You can recruit quite a few different and unique playable characters to your party, and at the start you select 1 of 4 main characters that have their own story. You'll find yourself immersed in this game for hours. Three hours can easily go by without you knowing as you traverse the vast world of Willistoria. Battles can seem a bit frustrating as the world levels up when you do, but it does eventually cap off, and it isn't too frustrating to rage quit. Just enough challenge without being too overwhelming, and the game is pretty beginner friendly with NPCs giving you lots of tips -- which is still useful even if you're seasoned -- since some tips can be a bit more game specific and is a good heads up. I really like the idea of the informant keeping you up to date with the latest in Willistoria so you know where the run into certain events, and so much more of the world opens up when you get airship guy on your team. Overall, from what I have played back then and replaying now, I still love this game and eager to see how it ends! It is pretty simple and to the point, but manages to remain fun with a surprisingly amount to do for what it is. And the free roam concept is just amazing! I don't know if you still make games or visit your Itch account anymore, but know that even after all this time, someone still enjoys this little hidden gem ^^
Hi Tofu, thank you so much for such a detailed review and the kind words. And even replaying it!
Indeed, I intended the game to be open-ended and somewhat challenging enough, and the gameplay style was inspired by SaGa series.
Hope you get to dig out all the game can offer haha
I'm currently not working on any new game, though your words do give me a little spark!
You are very welcome. I am looking forward to discovering more the game has to offer. I play a little bit of the game every day; I love how immersed I feel in this free-roaming world, and it reminds me of the magic and power the RM engine has. I love the free roam concept and the game has inspired me to try my hand at it someday when I find the time. When I've gone far to an ending at some point, I will make a fuller review, but this is really a lovely gem that is just as fun as it was the first time I played it a couple years ago.
Also even if you are not making games at the moment, I am happy to hear my words have inspired you to maybe try your hand at it again. I am sure you will have amazing ideas in store! ^^
