So, I did a thing and played this for a few hours today on Xbox. It might be a while until I get back to Oblivion. It's been many moons since I played a turn-based RPG, but damn it if this isn't a great game.

Beautiful environments, fascinating story, and great characters. The soundtrack is also phenomenal and sets a great tone for the gameplay.

Is it anime style?

Oh good. I read somewhere that it was a jrpg style game, which usually means very anime-ish in presentation.

Turn based? Looks like a regular RPG or something similar to The Walking Dead game.

Yep! I only have two party members right now: Gustave and Lune. And I should have listened to Lune before I stopped playing last night. She mentioned how the Nevron we were approaching looked more dangerous than the rest, and I then proceeded to get my ass kicked by it.

I read that you can’t make your own characters. You play as a party of preset characters. That’s a bit of a bummer for me.

Yep, they are pre-defined characters.

I’ll probably still give it a try on GamePass… if I can tear myself away from Baldur’s Gate 3.

Dunno if it makes a difference, but one of the expedition members shares a voice actress with Shadowheart!

What's happening in the beginning? Looks like a city getting destroyed.

Sophie's ultra cute. Wow, look at Maelle. We can actually count individual strands of hair hanging loosely out of her ponytail... !

Sheesh, look at the graphics of games nowadays. blink.gif

So, from what I've gathered thus far the anagonist (The Paintress) somehow sundered the world. That's the remnants of 1800's Paris that is shown in the opening sequence.


The detail on the characters are indeed phenomenal. Way ahead of even current day Bethesda games.
