5.0 out of 5 starsA hidden gem with a lot of rough edges.

Cause this doesn't get enough love here's a five star. I've heard of reviews about the Japanese version and I while I was concerned I decided to order it anyways, and while it does have its faults it's a rough gem in it's own right. So here's my pros and cons about the game.
Pros:
-its dynamic story has branching paths within paths
-character art is top good quality
-story is ambiguous (in a good way) and your left wondering who's faction is the "right" faction.
-relationship progression with your teammates and your main character is up to how your dialogue choices before fights with whom ever you decide to talk too.
-your able to mold your stater with a series of questions to determine your class your attributes and your skills at the start
-music was beautiful
-mercenary system is pretty cool how they fight at full potential within zoc (zone of control) of their commanders.
-"unwinable" fights are winnable but really hard and worth the victory if you can figure it out
Cons:
-"A" button is the return or exit button and "B" is the forward or enter button (took me awhile to get past the main menu cause I didn't realize I was exiting and entering the main menu)
-maps are humongous and apperently items are found lying around but I've only found one item ever, you fight on nice looking maps but you take forever getting your units from point "A" to point "B"
-turns are individual for each unit including the enemy, so you can't just move all your units and end turn and expect the enemy to move all of their units and end turn.
-path choices are ambiguous had no idea where I what I was getting into
-3D fights are chibi if that's not your thing like it isn't mine then turn it off and never worry about it again also speeds up turns
-turns are long when enemy's come at you in large force and your stuck waiting on 5 enemies to go for you to move one unit then 5 other enemy units to move right after.
-shop was pretty bare it mentions consumables but still haven't seen any sold yet
-no saving during battles
Out of ten I'd give this a 7.5 it's no fire emblem fates but it has its own potential and while it has its faults it really isn't as bad as people make it out to be. Just realize that this game probably didn't have anywhere near the same budget as fire emblem does. You may find yourself pleasantly surprised if you ever get to play this rough gem.
