I feel I should point out that certain quests don’t appear without the right hero on your team

For those of you who like to stick with just the one or not at all

Not managed to play this anymore today, but this kind of thing does irk me a little tiny bit! I’d much prefer it if you could still get the said quest and the required hero magically appears in your team, but then to continue the quest you have to make them active rather than being able to miss a quest just incase you didn’t want to use a particular hero or two.

Well in fairness it is the quests that allow you to increase the max rank of their class

I got to a point in chapter 5 where I was facing elite enemy after elite enemy so my class ranks on all the classes I was trying to level up went up massively. Feels good.

I'm still slowly plodding through Chapter 3. I have been doing a lot of the side content and having a good explore of the map. I'm not a massive fan of how the fauna are laid out (Feris chilling right next to Ardun really?), but I am really enjoying the region design if only for the views. Being able to climb all the way up a mountain and be able to see back to where you came from hours ago is fantastic. I've just entered the Urayan Tunnels and being able to look down and see a vague outline of where I'm going to end up is pretty cool.

Well I’ve met Fiona now. I swear she had a different accent in the trailer

'Shitehawk' is a quality insult. Here for it.

I'm really enjoying some of the smaller touches that have gone into this one. Little things like the younger versions of Lanz/Eunie having a different swearing vocabulary to the present day in flashbacks - saying things like Bum and Matey which the current cast don't as far as I've noticed. As well as the sheer number of idle animations from the various rest camps, my personal favourite is probably Lanz/Sena doing pushups with the nopon on their backs haha

I think there are a few cut corners in some departments of the game but the characters have clearly had a lot of heart put into them.

The climax of chapter 5 had me so hooked I stayed up way past when I should have slept. What a strawberry floating game. This game is sooooooooooo good.

I'm around the same point as you. Short or long[/nocontext]?

I haven't had the time to play this recently. Hoping to get stuck in when I get home.

Oh my god the ending of chapter 5 and start of chapter 6 is absolutely incredible. I've genuinely not been this moved by a game story in ages. Holy strawberry float it's hype as hell.

I really am intrigued by this game. I have only ever played Torna (which I liked quite a lot and completed, but equally can't remember anything about only a couple of years later).

How does this one compare? Is it really a 100h+ game?

So far it’s seeming that way, I’d say it’s definitely going to be in that region if you do all the side quests. I’m just about to hit 20 hours and still on chapter 3.

Just liberated a colony and got another hero quest I can go back and do, so I’ll be doing the couple of side quests I’ve recently got and then heading back to do that.

Such a good game :wub:

I've just started chapter 6 (out of 7? I believe) and I'm on 70+ hours. I have been adopting a very completionist approach though.
