I think the voting mechanic is really cool. It's interesting to have a game where you get to choose but don't necessarily get your own way.
I think there is a little too much going on between missions. I'm pretty sure there was a solid 30 minutes of scenes before the first and second battle in the demo. The game is throwing so many characters at me that I'm still struggling to get a handle on the relationships.
Gameplay wise, I'm still making up my mind. I get why they kind of throw you into the middle so you can see the complexity, but I'm still getting my head around the multiple systems going on here. I'm trying to do
and got smacked down my first try. Gonna give it another go in a bit and see if I've learned anything.
Overall, I'm happy for any entry in a genre that doesn't get a lot of love. The similarities are obvious, but there's more than enough to make this distinct from Fire Emblem (and maybe even a thing or two FE will learn, like having turns for characters rather than each side). So, hopefully it turns out well.
Also glad the Bravely series and Octopath line both seem to be going on simultaneously, although I'm a bit iffy on Bravely 2. Just not grabbing me like the first one or the second, but that may just be a consequence of being dropped into the middle. I'm still hoping there's some connection between this and the original games, which considering the series doesn't seem too unlikely. I like the character models just fine.
