sorry it took me forever to review this! honestly, at the time that i played it i was in a really bad headspace and crysmalia really helped me so i was afraid to review it because of how emotional i was ^^; this game is so charming, i'm glad i took a chance after playing ofaf to play this (i usually only play visual novels because i'm a bad gamer lol) and i was so blown away!! the characters are so much fun and really add to the experience, i was interested in the world after ofaf and this did not disappoint! color-coding characters is my favorite thing ever >< and the dialogue and banter was so natural and i enjoyed exploring with my team (grinding was also relatively straightforward and not tedious), i liked learning about each character's backstory and although i wished when i first finished the game that some of the later characters got story arcs, in hindsight i now think that its fine that they didn't and the game isn't hurting for it as not every character needs a bunch of screentime and it was more about making each game location feel story and character driven (i hope i'm interpreting it right hehe). i was so attached to these characters that i missed them sorely in the novel TT the only real criticism i have is regarding one boss in the middle of the game where there wasn't any indication that it was a battle that we had to lose... but really, other than that, the experience of playing crysmalia was seamless and heartwarming! thank you for making this game <3
