I can spend all day not talking to people and huffing toxic fumes from all the ingredients i'm burning. 10/10 in both quality of game and number of OSHA violations

A good introductory game for the franchise, but it is different to the earlier titles. The synthesis does still need planning, but Ryza is much more "brute force" as you need a lot of materials for each synthesis, also trait combinations are gone and instead you combine multiple levels of the same trait to make it stronger. Combat is active time based instead of turn based, so its a lot less strategic and more spammy. Each character (including Ryza) is also limited to just a small number of items they can use during combat, so most items do not get used unlike earlier titles. I had a bug in my game where the movies would not play, but since theres only 2 (Intro and Ending), I could just YouTube them
