  • JRPG
  • Turn-based
  • Fantasy

A fantasy JRPG from the makers of Persona: you compete for the throne and every main mission has a deadline. You split your days between bonds and virtues; in dungeons you cut down weak enemies in real time and fight the rest turn by turn.

Why play it now

When you've got weeks of free evenings ahead: the main story runs to around 80 hours, and about 100 with everything.

Who it's for

For Persona fans who want its calendar and turn-based battles, but set in a fantasy world.

When not to pick it

If repetitive dungeons bore you: the optional ones are bland and the same enemies keep turning up.

  • Story: 95 out of 100
