This isn't a JRPG, it's one of the best tactics/strategy games every made. *Spoilers for Frog Fractions 2 if you didn't realize it has been out for years at this point* For most people, it is better to think of this as more of a strategy game than a JRPG. Battles are the core of the game. Each world you visit has a different mechanical theme in addition to its literal theme. And each protagonist adds another layer onto that, with different styles of interaction with the different mechanics of the game. As an example, you have Siugnas the Vampire. From the perspective of a vampire, humans are a resource to be exploited. As you travel, the humans you meet and enthrall will empower you give you powerful moves and the life blood needed to fuel them. For Ameya the witch, you will have interludes where you are finding “cats” that represent you recovering your incredible magic powers. You’ll need to balance getting your powers back with your other responsibilities as well. Characters and their races will also affect the real meat and potatoes of the game, the combat. The goal is not really to win, but instead think about how you want to develop your team. For humans, whatever weapons you use will also improve your characters stats. But even more important, what technique you use (there is not basic “attack” or “item” command) can further “spark” into better techniques. This experience feels great as it will generally feel like a surprise. Your character will use what you told them to and then immediately use the new technique. These multiple goals in each fight are also reinforced with the Mr. S trials, where you are trying to fulfill certain conditions like inflicting specific status effect or limit yourself in some way for rewards. Techniques have many traits and you can only pick 8 for each character. Maybe you’ll want techniques that move you later or earlier on the timeline to help you set up those sweet combos or showstoppers. Maybe you want interrupts to disrupt enemy combos and do heavy damage. Maybe you want to debuff the enemy or manipulate them into triggering counter attacks. Maybe you will use a formation that gives you action point discounts for defending so you can reduce damage then unleash a powerful move for mere pennies. The hardest part of the game is breaking your expectations, because it really doesn’t operate like any other JRPG. This is a 7/10 games that with a few tweaks could have been an 11/10 game. Who is this game for? I literally do not know. Honestly I feel many of the same vibes as UFO 50 or even secret Frog Fraction’s sequel Glittermitten Grove. UFO 50 is actually a much more accessible collection. But they out a demand on players to use observation and experimentation to extrapolate the real rules of the game system. This game’s learning curve is steeper and its aesthetics are generally less appealing. Emerald Beyond’s major advantage is all of its systems interact with each other. This is both amazing and possibly aggravating since when you get stuck you likely won’t know how to dig yourself out of the hole you are in. The game is actually not devoid of story telling. But it is incidental and observational. No big speeches or action sequences, the story will be almost entirely delivered by vibes and how the gameplay will determine how you interact with the game world and how you feel about your characters. If you want the game's UI to be a little faster and snappier, the EmeraldBeyondQoL on GitHub does that and allows for fast forwarding during dialogue. It will require MelonLoader to modify the game.

I find the combat in this game interesting enough to outweigh all of the very real negatives. I wish they would have crafted a more interesting story and allowed for more exploration. Sometimes getting to the next area feels like a chore, but most segments move quickly. I'm recommending it because the combat really is THAT interesting.

It has the most interesting jrpg combat and it is well directed to just concentrate on this aspect.

This is a turn-based RPG for the mechanical purists. While VERY low-budget in its presentation (it's also a mobile game - but as in, an actual full game that just happens to be on mobile phones, completely absent of typical mobile game systems like microtransactions), What you're getting is one of the tightest turn-based combat systems in the genre, with tons of freedom in builds and party comps to play around with - all that fits together in a logical if slightly unintuitive manner. Starting out, you'll have absolutely no idea what the hell is going on to the point that you may bounce off of the game entirely because of the lack of tutorial easing you into the game's many systems (PLAY THE DEMO FIRST, SERIOUSLY). But if it digs its hooks in you, you'll be unable to put it down for at least a playthrough.
