Some things dont need to change.
A ton of JRPG's nowadays have transitioned towards action-RPG, and sometimes i'd like to have ye old turn based style again.
I mean it doesnt really appeal to some of the recent gamers and their limited attention spans but us old school gamers sometimes dont like the new directions.
I wasnt a big fan of the arstyle when i played this demo the first time around but i think ive warmed up to it. Its all about the battle system when it comes to JRPG's and i think this one is good, its pretty similar to octopath's.
This one goes on the wishlist (ive got a wishlist backlog already lol)
