This looks pretty as fuck.

I'm really not a fan of the pixel-art-on-3d aesthetic, and the shitload of bloom/lighting/effects heaped on top of it isn't helping.

I like it minus the overuse of bloom.

[Oizen]

The fact the team that did bravely default worked on this makes me interested.

[octopod]

Reminds me of when you put overkill shader mods into Minecraft. I personally like it.

That too

[SquidsEye]

I like the pixel art on 3D models but I don't really like the use of 2D sprites for the characters. They could probably tone it down with the shader effects too.

Not sure if I like how the enemies are more detailed in fights.

It's definitely fun though, the boost system is fun.

[Mr.Cookie]

The demo pretty much sold me on this game. It's a lot of fun.

I've never played a straight up JPRG of this sort in my entire life and I had a blast

[TheHydra]

the lighting seems way too dark at points

Most likely an intentional callback to the old 16-bit Final Fantasy games where enemy sprites were always more detailed than player characters.

Takes me back to the Golden Sun days - I really wanna play this, but I don't have a Switch :frown:

Basically my biggest complaint, even on bright daylight locations the shadows are massive, there's a weird "shadow fog" all around you and it looks like if you were inside a dark cave half the time. Plus with all the effects the game turns into "fireworks at night" simulator

The 3D + Sprites mix is great, it's just how they're managing the lighting that puts me off.

Looks like a mix of Ragnarok Online with Final Fantasy
