A very solid tactics RPG with some light management aspects. The character writing is very well done, and I appreciate that it's enocuraged for players to see multiple endings, each of which provide different information to the larger "true ending" story. Class design is varied and generally feels good. There are about 18 classes, most of which have a unique mechanic, and many of which have synergistic partner classes on the other end of the tech/magic spectrum. There's enough depth to get invested into the setup of equipment, passives, and classes to find an ideal mix. However, the length of the game does mean that some characters will feel "finished" with their relevant classes well before the true ending. If you use mastered classes, most encounters will be a bit too easy on Normal, so I'd advise that one varies their class loadouts to keep the non-story encounters from getting too stale. Narratively, it's very solid. I think four endings (two sides, each with 1 branching path) is just enough scope that it feels like your choices matter without forcing the writers to make obscure choices less developed. I didn't play two of the endings, as you only need to play one of each side for the true ending, but the ones I did play were engaging and interesting. The individual character trust events were also an excellent addition. Most of them feel sharply written, even if some are a bit archetypical and didn't catch my interest as much. Lastly, the crafting system for gear upgrades and the general inventory management was decent, but it felt like it was missing an escape valve for "junk" items. I ended up carrying so many armor sets and weapons that were completely useless for level 50 when compared to the better stuff you get at the end of a given run. I'd have appreciated a way to dissasemble them for materials. There was also one menuing bug that caused the action select menu to double up. Only one bug isn't so bad, so I mention it mostly for the dev's reference. Seemed to trigger by inputting commands very quickly using keyboard shortcuts.

I think many will compare this to Final Fantasy Tactics, because it's what they know. For me, it hits two gaming memories: Shining Force and Vandal Hearts. Shining Force due to its mixture of technology and magic, along with having a vast and diversified cavalcade of memorable characters. Vandal Hearts due to how the battles are laid out, and the way the story plays out. The writing is truly excellent, the battles are each a fun little puzzle to figure out, and overall it's just a fantastic time. I'm mostly here for the story though and how one can spend time with these fantastic characters to get to know them. I'm honestly impressed, because not many games knock character writing, narrative, an overarching plot, and world building out of the park like this. The world's locations themselves even have a lot of personality, and so much consideration is put into all of the side characters. There's just so much personality on offer, here. (I mean, not that I haven't loved a game this dev's put out. But this one's a keeper.) So, yes. For fans of this sort of tactical RPG? You're in for a good time. It stands on the shoulders of giants and doesn't disappoint them, it's a damn fine legacy for those games and a grand way to revive a mostly dead genre. Top marks, no notes. Update: I'm still replaying this. I still love it. This is one of the better video games I've played in years. I adore how different the characters all feel. It really does have bloody excellent writing. And the tactics are great too! Just a really well made game, with a fantastic story, and just the sort of thing I want.
