Absolutely beautiful art and design. Pretty decent game-play and a captivating story/world. Also cute talking frog. There are a few moments where dialogue does not match text, but that's rare and does not detract from the game-play.

I put this game on my wish list a long time ago and was scared off by the mixed reviews. Now that I played it, I think it's pretty good. Not $40 good, but still good. Every single dialogue is voiced. Every. Single. One. Even for the smallest and most insignificant NPC. This is amazing for a small game like this. And all the voice talents do an amazing job. Even though it is annoying at times when you're asked for the trillionth time "Do you wish to land here?" The characters are good and the banter between them makes the game feel more alive. Willhelm necking Christopher or Zas casually speaking out loud what you think in front of your screen is just amazing. Cris herself is a little bit bland, but grows with her adventure. The story itself is... okay. While nothing spectacular, it okay in its own right. It doesn't help that the whole story revolves around time, and there are only a handful of good time traveling stories in this world. The game mechanics of each character are unique enough to try them, even though there is only one VIP in your group who will kill most enemies in one turn. Cris' whole mechanic with time shifting is interesting, but irrelevant for most enemies and even bosses later on, which is a shame. The town riddles regarding time travel, while interesting in theory, are pretty easy and in almost all cases you are told exactly what you ""could"" do to proceed, which is exactly what you should do. The OST is pretty good as well, some outstanding battle tracks are included. So in short: If you want a short, small game with a unique experience, even if it is not the best out there, get this game on sale and have a good time :) Final warning for completionist: Some achievements require reloading saves, one or two may be bugged. If you want to 100% this game, check a walkthrough beforehand.

I recommend this game if you find it interesting or intriguing from the trailers, images, and/or content about it online. I'd get it on a discount just to experience the art. It's a very 'basic' game, but it does the basics competently enough and the new stuff is does try are good. Visually it's amazing. I spent a couple of hours just looking it at, traveling to each timeline to see how the art, world and characters change. It does the concept of time travel or seeing past/future really well, there's no overcomplication that can come from dabbling in this topic. The combat is alright. It isn't hard as some people make it up to be. The enemies are pretty simple once you get to learn them, and there's a small level of strategy with what moves to use and how to use the time abilities. I did a small amount of grinding and fought every battle I encountered and I managed just fine. The story and plot isn't anything to right home about. The writing in these kinda games can be an advantage but in this game they played it pretty safe, tho the voice acting is competent and can be really good at times. There's 1 small section at the end of the game that really surprised me in that it tackled a pretty heavy topic/story point and the voice acting for the NPC involved was top notch. Cons for the game are random encounters which some people can dislike. The plot was kinda whatever near the end, and it relies too much on going back to old areas to do stuff and fight similar enemies to ones you fought. There's 2 such sequences in the game and it really hurt the pacing, feels like it's just padding. Enemy design is also very limited, a lot of them, especially bosses, get reused. The game is short enough that it's not that big of a deal. You also move kinda slowly in the world and you do a lotta walking so the slowness really shows. There's a sidequest that's easily missable if you don't immediately go and get it, ruining your true ending/100% run.

Oct. 2024

Revisited this game after playing it blind on release 3 years ago. Not a bad game all things considered, though I can 100% understand a lot of the criticisms for it. Be warned that the Spiked Keychain is bugged; if you equip it to JKR and use an ability/attack that causes JKR to overheat, the game crashes. Doesn't appear this will be fixed but I'd like to be proven wrong. If you haven't played a lot of JRPGs in the past, it's a good game to get into the genre.

Oct. 2024

I haven't finished this game yet but so far so good. I don't really get why this game has mixed reviews? But I personally like it. The artstyle is bright and beautiful, the story is pretty decent, and the turn-base combat has a cool twist to it like you can parry, crit hit, and bend time to your advantage so it keep you engage most of the time unlike traditional turn-base games. So yeah, I'm really having fun with this game so far.
