I would like to preface this by saying this is a great game, really, and a surprisingly great game considering the studio, etc. However, I think it's worse than any of the recent persona games, and metaphor.
The UI for example, is inexplicably bad. No maps or markers for things that are clearly meant as late game content so you have to write it down or alt tab to the internet to remember all the locales doesn't feel great. I wish the world had more interesting traversal and the character building between characters was more in depth.
That being said, this is a great game. It's not a 10/10 or anything, but if you enjoy rpgs and jrpgs, its a must play and a great effort by a small studio. Certainly, it's better than any recent FF game by some distance. The story is really interesting and the music is A+ tier. They tried something different and they mostly pulled it off, so kudos.
