Not ashamed to admit I'm only looking forward to the reviews for the updated version of
I mean some of those points are…not wrong.
“pokemon-esque“ is a reasonable description in a way for the mainstream
“dark souls of persona“ …for back in the day acceptable variant of „harder and bleaker version of persona“
“ancient battle. Etween good and evil“ …yeah, thats a trope as old as jrpgs. „Jrpgs…those games where you kill god at the end“
„World map is rather minimal“ … well, you can disagree, but its a point for that person
„A step back in some ways from nocturne“… yeah, i asume some would feel that, especially with
„2d sprites in the year of 2013“ and „dissapointing that they are back into…after what was in nocturne“.
“first person battles? Eugh.“
some of those are comparisons to nocturne, the direct pequell. Thats legitimate.
and some are points that did hold me back. (First person battles, 2d sprites, the world map on screen shots, the main character designs)
And i have read, that the plot takes forever to really get going. Even from people that loved the game,
so i could see it being rather boring for many people or a weak point If you are a more story focused jrpg player.
all of this does not mean that there arent some really bad takes on that meme…
