Game-specific assessment

Pros & Considerations

Structure

Restoring individual islands creates a satisfying anthology rhythm where each region has its own problem before joining the modern world.

Battles

Turn order, party composition and ability choices reward planning over reflexes

Progression

Character growth and equipment choices create persistent build decisions across the campaign

◇Consider

Length: The campaign is exceptionally long and the vocation system takes many hours to fully open.
