This turned based RPG is worth your time if you can accept what it is trying to do. First and foremost this game is all about its incredible combat system and subsystems that support it. I might go as far to say it is the best turn based JRPG combat you will find due to its depth, customization, and speed of action that provides a fun experience throughout many hours of play (see my play time for example). Perhaps as important as the gameplay, going in you must understand that REPLAYS ARE EXPECTED AND PART OF THE EXPERIENCE. You should expect to play through the game with the different protagonists, some multiple times, to see the whole story. The good thing is the gameplay keeps it interesting throughout that span. If you are going for secret hidden bosses and endings, the additional time spent might get to be a bit much. The caveat here is with the focus on combat being so high, some other aspects of your traditional JRPG experience get compressed and streamlined, which may not be appreciated by all. Critically, I think you will have the most fun leveraging the only existing guide on GameFAQs for this one, mostly to help understand how learning techniques work and understanding why multiple laps through a protagonist's story or a given 'world' changes so much. I have 150+ hours on this game and enjoyed it throughout. It started to drag as I worked toward the hidden bosses, as I had to dig into some combat mechanics I had not invested as much time in. Still, making it through this many hours of a JRPG is a highlight for me. The combat is so good and it will be hard playing a more traditional game afterwards. This game's mechanics are an extension of SaGa: Scarlet Grace's, as far as I understand, though I have not played that one. I suspect it is the only other game that will satisfy the same way for such fast, frenetic, and deep turn-based combat.
I can understand, with how things are these days, how people could dislike this game. Its story telling approach is a bit barebones, it has a low budget feel, etc. However, none of that really matters if you really dig into what the game has to offer. The combat system is incredibly fun, the world design is very intricate, and the overall experience is fantastic if you take the time to understand it. As an aside, the way the narrative is given I think actually gives the game more freedom than if everything was fully animated and voice acted. If you can get past the fact that it's not Red Dead Redemption 2 or whatever people are comparing things to these days, what you are left with is something that I wish more games did. Gameplay and depth over high fidelity presentation for me any day. And the battles look good still, so it's not that the game doesn't have good looking graphics. Anyways, I whole-heartedly encourage people to give this game a shot, and they may actually enjoy themselves.
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.
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.
