Pros & Considerations
Exploration
Towns and field areas connect the battles, preserving the feel of a traditional travelling JRPG
Story
Route choices and character events can materially alter late-game outcomes
Characters
The relationship/event system gives optional party members meaningful personal arcs
Systems
Ring weapons and gems create flexible equipment builds without a conventional job system
◇Consider
Missables: Some character events and route conditions are opaque enough that a blind playthrough can lock out content
Time commitment: Long — about 80 hours by the catalogue median
