This style of game is where the RPG genre got its roots. People writing this off as a final fantasy rip off need to understand that the very nature of that comment is insane. That's like saying every game since a bard's tale is a rip off of that. Or every first person shooter is a rip off of wolfenstein.
Great game, great style, and to the devloper, just ignore the fools and ignorant comments. Keep up the great work!
