The praise I've heard for this game makes it very intriguing. Several are saying it's one of the best Jrpgs ever. And to think they did this with just 30 people working on the game makes me especially happy to see it being this successful.
It's barely been a day and it has already sold 500 000 copies.
And its MSRP is just $50.

I like that it has a "worldmap".

Bro @expedition33 has a scaled down world map wtf this is a old school JRPG in disguise I’m in love with this game. My GOTY already pic.twitter.com/fhTFlMHMxs

The publisher put the entire OST on Youtube, which is cool. I only listened a little since I want to experience it in game first, but from what I heard it has some serious bangers.

I'll be buying the game soon.

Regardless, hopefully they are making all the money so they can patch in English Lipsynch. I'm not changing to French cause the English VA cast is exceptional. If this game keeps going the way it is, I'm buying the deluxe upgrade to support them. 

I believe Ghost of Tsushima patched that in later on for the Japanese voices.
I tried both, and I didn't mind the lack of lip sync in Jp, so maybe I'm not sensitive to those things.

Not really sure I mind but this just made me check the cast as one of the voices was really familiar. Jennifer English, who played Shadowheart. :P

Yeah and Ben Starr (Clive from FF16) is also in it. Seems like a high quality cast

It's not a JRPG, and JRPGs didn't start turn-based. WRPGs did. JRPGs started as action and JRPG nos tied to one style of battle mechanics either. Dark Souls is a JRPG. Xenoblade is. Ys is. Dragon's Dogma is.
