A shipwreck, a cursed island, and a village you rebuild between bursts of nimble combat.

The profile is remarkably balanced, and tilts the right way. Connection sits ahead of 89% of games, rediscovery also ahead of 89%, and fun, the game you start for one session and put down at 3am, ahead of 79% of titles. The community bonds with Adol, with Dana, with this action-RPG adventure that never drops the pace. The rest, controller feel, art style, soundtrack, holds in the solid middle, near the center. No harsh tension here, rather a game that wins you over with its heart and its energy. Careful, these numbers rest on very few votes, to be confirmed.

Compared to brisk Japanese action-RPGs like the Tales of series or the other Ys games, it plays its part: fluid combat and a strong bond to the characters.

So, who is it for? For you if you love a JRPG that moves fast, a likable cast and an adventure you keep with you. Much less if you want a visual punch first or a soundtrack that demands the spotlight.
