How does this game have 96% positive reviews?

[Broso]

Are most of the reviews bought or something? I mean, it's not a bad game. But I have seen similar quality games with far less positive reviews. Take the music for example. This game has no original music at all, it's the most generic crap I have ever heard in a JRPG, some scenes have really short generic music loops to the point that it gets annoying to read the on screen text because the badly edited music loop is so noticeable. That's not a 96% game in my book.

Ok

I bought this because of i seen a lot of praise for this and so far I can see why it has so many positive reviews. Other then the music thing you mentioned the only issue I have is no English voice acting. The Japanese voice for the MC is way to high pitch so I had to turn off the voices, but those are just small nitpicks.

this game is my GOTY 2023

I rarely beat games because I easily get bored, but not this game, I really enjoyed it, gameplay and story.

----------------------

about generic music, I don't mind / care too much, I am not an audiophile / love music, as long as the music is not hurt my ears / suitable with the game genre, I am okay with it.

I didn't say it was bad, but in my opinion more like an 80-85% maybe. It just seems disproportionate.

The Korean voice over is really good you should give it a try if you haven't (Game is Korean).

Probably because your own opinion doesn't equate to what other people think. It's a little off in places but it's filled with soul and love. Which is what most games nowadays do not have.
Jankiest games have often been the best games.
And who gives a ♥♥♥♥ if the music is generic lmao, from what I've heard the music is good enough for me. This isn't falcom. We're not gonna get triple A composers coming in and creating god tier music.

I thought the music was pretty ignorable for the most part, and really, that's all it needs to be. In my opinion, it's only a problem if it's actively unpleasant (which isn't all that uncommon in games).

It's rare to find a game like this with such impressive quality (even with the rough edges) and so much charm, and it's a passion project that's largely the work of one guy. I think it definitely deserves the rating. Plus it's a remake of the first game in a well-received series, so it has an established fanbase to begin with.

I wouldn't mind seeing your list of similar quality game. Those are hard to find when all storefront are shoving the new shiny overadvertised AAA in your face.

Literally all Ryza games are better than this.

A lot of people hate Ryza because of the fanservice, a lot of fans of the rest of the series think it's a step down in quality, a lot of people hate the yuribaiting, and it's also a lot more mainstream. It would be very surprising if Ryza managed to be more highly rated than this even if they are way better games (which is arguable).

story in ryza games are so mid tier they genuinely bore me to death. I didn't finish a single one because there's literally 0 impact to anything.
End of chapter 3 in this game on the otherhand. Gameplay is arguably better I guess
