This is one of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters, right?
Jokes aside, this plays like a complete RPG. It may be short by the genre's standards, but it's actually quite ideal for me, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Shifting between worlds is a cool concept and I loved how you used it to tie in various community members' games. And it's not a mooglerampage game without a T3F3 reference! 😛
The graphics are on par with the FF Pixel Remasters, what with the blending of 16-bit-esque sprites alongside beautiful particle effects. The weather effects were a nice touch, too. Maps are compact enough while still having plenty of secrets and surprises. The only sour spot for me was the portraits: since there are some non-retro graphics in here, I don't think it would be too out of place to have some nicer-looking face graphics.
The 16-bit styled music was a great move, too, and is leveraged expertly. While you could have gotten away with full quality instruments for a total Pixel Remaster aesthetic, I enjoyed them too much as-is to complain.
I felt like the writing was pretty strong, too. Sure, there's Therese's aggressive "PLACEHOLDER TEXT," but aside from that I felt like each character got to express their personalities in fitting ways. Good use of the required elements, too.
Overall, I feel like this is a great entry. Truly a remarkable work of passion paired with skill. Not as long as last year's entry (thankfully), but still epic by jam standards. And most importantly: a joy to play. Well done!
