I've played the game in early access off and on for the past couple years. Seeing the progress being made has been interesting. It's come a long way. I enjoy the battle system.
Good luck and sales.
Gamepass, so I'll probably give it a go but never heard of it before.
Not my cup of tea but looks pretty good though,
It has a niche for people to pick up!
Honestly, as long as the story is good, and the overall game is solid, I don't care (too) much. Getting something done at this scale with the polish that Square games usually have would require the kind of money that Square usually throws behind their biggest games, which I'm guessing they dont have.
