This game it definitely very addicting. I went in thinking it would just be another Final Fantasy knock-off, but I fell in love with the amazing story, and originality in the characters, story, upgrading system, and the overall aesthetics this game provides. The soundtrack fits the game perfectly, and the music is on-par with other great game soundtracks like Undertale, Minecraft, and Diablo. The combat is engaging, with a mixture of turn-based combat and strategy. The mini-games like "(enemy name) Defense", Snowboarding, fishing, and hack-picking are also fun as well. My only complaints are that after playing through to about chapter 3, I could just have Mari use Quake II an d decimate any encounter I came across except bosses. The elementalist class is OP. Secondly, I never had to craft any of the weapons in the game. I actually just used the starting weapons, and upgraded them a bunch in the armory. Other than those two things this game is wonderful.
I beat Hardcore mode with an air mage, a defensive warrior (Sword + Shield + Heavy armor), and an offensive warrior (Two-handed Axe + Medium Armor) All were orcs because why not?
