First impressions after more than two hours
The good
- English VA is great
- Voiced protagonist
- Characters are already likable
- Persona 5 like combat
- Flow from combat encounter to the next is amazing for a turn based game, feels almost Action RPG it's so slick.
- Can restart a battle mid fight if things are going badly, really cool
- Weaker/stronger enemy system is brilliant to avoid tedium
- Great stylization (albeit a bit over stylized in the menu with things flickering) World looks great though
- Animation cutscenes are fantastic
- They thanked me for trying out the demo
- An air of mystery
- Auto dialogue is quick and feels natural
- Music is great
The bad
- No HDR (shame cause the game would pop even more)
- Alisising in a modern title this bad has no excuse, it's atrocious and terribly distracting. Almost sickening.
- Everything has an emporhus style where nothing is static, not even the menus and it's cool for ten minutes then gets super annoying
- They are presenting the story as if you're supposed to know what's going on, like you know the world already. Not cool.
- Death means nothing, just spawn a few steps back
- Going from scene to scene feels not very cohesive so far
