I swear if I froze myself in 2001 and woke up today, I would totally believe someone if they said this was the evolution of Final Fantasy.

It’s like a modern day version of the best parts of FF7 - FF10 with a hint of Persona’s combat.

Maybe it’s recency bias, but this game is probably going to be one of my all time favorites

Another of my favorites, but no, I was thinking more the shooting mechanics and snappy menus remind me of atlus games.

The timed hits mechanic are awesome too though.
