Gameplay

The gameplay doesn’t differ too much from what we got used to in Star Ocean and other jRPGs. Players explore the vast three-dimensional world, visiting towns, completing main and side quests, as well as developing skills and equipment of characters that form our team. Title features a quick-paced battle system, similar to the games from the Tales of series. One novelty is that the players fight mobs on the world map, and the game does not load each time we stumble upon every single arena. We can freely switch between our heroes during battles.
