Combat is excellent, with tons of potential build creativity in the archetypes system. It feels great and ‘snappy’. None of the battle animations felt too long, but still fluid and weighty. The press turn system is back and better than ever, with engaging risk/reward systems.

The story is very intriguing, the worldbuilding is deep, and the characters are charming. This is one of those games that will leave you pondering about its themes and mysteries after you finish a session.

Art direction is top-class, with deliciously dark, twisted, humorous, and confusing enemy designs. Hieronymus Bosch and Bruegel the Elder had a baby, but Shigenori Soejima raised it.

Characters like Strohl give off Ramza/Delita vibes and less “Here’s your assigned best friend” JRPG vibes. Strohl’s honesty in his beliefs and goals is incredibly refreshing in a JRPG of this type.

The Akademia theme is absolute perfection. That is all. I can’t wait for the final release!
