  I've been playing this on gamepass and it's pretty cool. I really like the mario rpg mechanic of timing buttons for attack and blocks in turn based games, though it can make the game trivially easy. Like a dragon did the combat infinitely better. Still pretty cool.

  Story is ok, loading time is really long, like Final fantasy 9 long. Not a fan how often random encounters are, I bet I didn't need half the exp I got and can proceed just fine.

    You playing on PC or Xbox One? Load times are supposed to be pretty good on PC

      Xbox Series S. It's the load time between encounter. It's not awful, but noticably more than 10 seconds. Which feels awful cause random encounter happens pretty often in this game

  Played this a bit. To be honest not that great. Has a few quite antiquated mechanics like random encounters while you're walking around. Coupled with limited opportunities to refill your hp / mana this isn't a great feel since you feel compelled to save your resources for the inevitable boss fight, which makes the random encounters even more tedious. Bosses also feel a bit too much like damage sponges.

  The time mechanic feels a bit gimmicky and not fully utilised. Usually it just results in a debuff or some barely worthwhile synergy.

  Visuals are great however.

  Can't argue with the price though.
