It screamed "Breath of Fire" to me when I first saw this (I would *love* to see a BoF3 or BoF4 remaster with visuals of this caliber), but now that it came out the _day after_ Grandia HD Collection hits Xbox and Playstation, I can totally see Grandia too 😄 This looks great! I'm happy to hear it's solid, because as soon as the weather turns nicer, I start thinking about picking up some JRPGs and adventure games. They're my go-to's for the season, and while I have plenty of older titles to pick up (with Akira Toriyama dying recently, I decided to jump back into the charming Blue Dragon again recently, for instance), I'm always hoping that new charming games will come out every Spring or Summer. To see Grandia HD and Terra Memoria coming out now, Eiyuden Chronicles next month, and Visions of Mana launching in a few months, I'm thrilled to see that 2024 is looking to be loaded with charming JRPGs and adventures.
Fantastic video and very informative, thanks so much. I am going to be streaming this game shortly and plan to send them to this video if anyone needs more info because I will just be playing it for the first time now. But you break everything down so well, its very appreciated.
Fine work on this. I'm considering getting this game and your video has nudged me toward picking it up. This game really reminds me of the Breath of Fire series, particularly the third game, which is one of my favorite RPGs. So, I think I might give this a shot.
Not gonna lie, my eyes and ears perked up at the Grandia comparison, but was disappointed to learn that's not referring to the battle system. :/ Grandia's IP Gauge is still the GOAT and it baffles me more games haven't imitated it! (There was Child of Light and....that's it??)
Had to go back and check a Grandia video, for the life of me I was thinking that was a more active battle system like Star Ocean or Tales series, I much prefer the turn based, so pretty happy here
It's good that you mentioned the unimportant things like yes, how and whether you can run, but you didn't mention the important thing, which is whether there is voice acting or not!
Bought it after I seen your review but I went w/ the Switch version, take note the Switch version has slight FPS drop when the camera zooms across town and overall FPS feel like 28-30 FPS? Battles are fine though, nevertheless I enjoy this game a whole lot!
thanks for your review! I liked it over all. I just wanted to add that I was missing some info. Who is the developer?

I wasn't too fond of Grandia. That whole magic system where you get better stuff the more you use the same thing over and over never felt properly balanced. Maybe I'll give this one a shot though. A new game by new people means it's a new chance for better balancing and stuff like that. Though, the camping for EXP thing has me thinking about FF15 and how unbalanced that was.
@@bigthecat100 Oh really? Maybe I'll do that. Might have to watch a video about the story though, as I didn't finish it. I gathered that one girl was probably related to that ancient race, but that's the last bit of foreshadowing that I remember.
Hello I am just finished the game on switch in 15h at nearly 100% and I am not agree.For me it s a bad rpg.Too easy, there is no challenge(final boss is the worst I have ever seen in my life of rpg gamer), battle system is always the same ALL THE GAME, all the characters have same attacks, pathetic...., side quest,side quest and side quest oh yes and side quest....on switch the performance are bad,4 crashes in 15 h,frame rate is not stable and strange micro freeze when the heroes run or walk.The only thing cool is cooking for HP upgrade that s all.Don t buy this or buy it at 5 euros max.
Quand j achete un jeu j aimerai éviter des plantages,des ralentissements etc....mais ça c est que la partie technique( sur switch).Au delà de ça j ai trouvé le jeu mauvais sur quasiment tout les aspects.Vous me dites vous en demander pas trop?.Je pourrai vous retourner la chose en vous disant si on vous prend pour une vache à lait ça ne vous dérange pas?
@@critical-thinker666 Starfield. Dustborn. Concord. And the hundreds of other AAA and quadruple games that are vapid and disappointing at best.

@@hariman7727 well most of them are bad, but not all... most of them are quite good to just sit back and play like god of war or horizon etc. bg 3 have no bestiality if you dont chose to do so and in such complicated manner that 99% will never get there. and its supposed to be DD experience.
Think of it more as a Looney Tunes but semi serious or original Ninja Turtles but less ridiculous than "FuRRy!", and give it a chance. I'm into the second town, and the non human races have been designed as people and not the stereotypes "fUrrRRRRYYYYY!" things you fear so much.

I can see a little Mana Khemia in it too, in the turn gauge that lets you know when enemies act and how long your actions take.
This looks fantastic. Glad I follow you guys so I can be reminded when indies I was looking forward to actually come out lol
Us too!
Great to see a review the day before it releases. So glad to hear it’s a good one. Been excited for this one. Thanks for the review bud.
Great review 👍
Also well done for being the only channel to actually review it 👍👍
Thanks! 👍

Glad it was helpful!
I’ve been looking forward to the full release. Really dug the demo while playing on Steam Deck. It was my unwind after work game.
Dude, you had me at Grandia-Like, gonna check this out immediately!
Fine work on this. I'm considering getting this game and your video has nudged me toward picking it up.

Thank you for the wonderful review. I look forward to checking it out!
Hope you enjoy it!
Y'all the first I follow to review this was excited to hear what you guys had to say
Not gonna lie, my eyes and ears perked up at the Grandia comparison, but was disappointed to learn that's not referring to the battle system. :/
Grandia's IP Gauge is still the GOAT and it baffles me more games haven't imitated it! (There was Child of Light and....that's it??)
Honestly, it's still a lot of fun without the Grandia style action gauge.
I love me quality pixel art. And that tail sway. that is some nice animation.
For sure!
Adding this to my HUGE PC Libary!! :)
How much time to beat?
Nice video structure, I like the pure gameplay impression at the end!
music draws me back to the classic rpg immediately; gives me jade cocoon and legend of legaia vibes
I'm at the second town, and this one is a ton of fun thus far. It's not hard yet, but I've heard the later areas get harder.
Had to go back and check a Grandia video, for the life of me I was thinking that was a more active battle system like Star Ocean or Tales series,
I much prefer the turn based, so pretty happy here
ooo thanks for the rec
It's good that you mentioned the unimportant things like yes, how and whether you can run, but you didn't mention the important thing, which is whether there is voice acting or not!
There is no voice acting
Whoa, it’s coming out this soon? I adored the demo for this game.
Another stellar review! Can you do Crypt Custodian next? I just finished the demo and had a blast with it, would love to see your thoughts on it.
This game is just great, for me 8/10.
I have 10 hours and the game is well made.
Congrats to, who made this game.
Does it have any cutscenes
Bought it after I seen your review but I went w/ the Switch version, take note the Switch version has slight FPS drop when the camera zooms across town and overall FPS feel like 28-30 FPS?
Battles are fine though, nevertheless I enjoy this game a whole lot!
That's pretty common on switch versions to have lower performance compared to PC/Steam Deck so not too surprised. Glad you are enjoying it!
@@IDreamofIndie Yes, in case if anyone is wondering how the Switch performs then all's good but don't expect a constant (pun intended) 60 FPS.
I love the art is there a physical copy.. 😊
thanks for your review! I liked it over all. I just wanted to add that I was missing some info.
Who is the developer? (maybe he has done similar stuff in the past)
When is the release date
On Which Platforms does it release
Whats the price point on release
Those are just some basic infos I expceted to find but had to look up after your review.
Regardless good work! and keep it up!
If you look at the start of the video all of that info is included!
RPGs? Furries? Launch discount (doubled with Humble Choice discount)? I had to buy it day 1. Just about to finish Persona 3 Reload on Steam Deck, so I know what I am going to work on next.
this looks more like Breath of Fire 3 or 4 + Octopath Traveler, rather than Grandia.
Wonder if the furries got to work on the fan art for the characters yet
Monster hunting game?
I mean monster collecting
I wasn't too fond of Grandia. That whole magic system where you get better stuff the more you use the same thing over and over never felt properly balanced. Maybe I'll give this one a shot though.

You should give the Grandia sequels a shot (2 is a masterpiece), the first game is the only one to use that magic/skill upgrade system IIRC.
@@bigthecat100 Oh really? Maybe I'll do that. Might have to watch a video about the story though, as I didn't finish it. I gathered that one girl was probably related to that ancient race, but that's the last bit of foreshadowing that I remember.
@@psycholuigiman Oh, I forgot to mention, the games aren't connected, you can play them in any order, much like Final Fantasy :)
@@bigthecat100 Oooo. Then that seals the deal I guess. Thanks for the info.

What do you want, a AAAA game on an indie budget? You don't ask much, do you?

looks amazing ... if year was 1995.
Which puts it miles above the modern drek.
@@hariman7727 like wukong,bg 3,re 4re,stellar blade, elden ring and similar modern drek ?
