Positive
- · Beautiful visuals, sounds and settings that aptly pays homage to stellar predecessors of this once great franchise.
- · Seeing friendly and unfriendly creatures that had until now mostly appeared in pixelated form is a treat for returning fans. New creatures designed for this game fit in seamlessly with the old ones too.
- · Engaging story took some unexpected turns and motivated me to press on to see what would happen next.
Negative
- · Controls feel sluggish and inputs can be unresponsive. Sometimes characters need to be told several times to use healing items before they actually do, other times it works on the first try.
- · The final hours turn into a slog forcing you to retread old ground and fight stronger versions of boss fights you’ve already seen. I started wishing for the game to be over long before it was.
- · Ultimately the game feels stuck in the past, making it poised to not appeal to fans of the Mana-series or newcomers, very possibly spelling an end to a beloved franchise.
