I LOVED this game!! I had so much fun. My only major piece of feedback is that at the end of the game, I'd love to be able to have some replay-ability or continue to explore the rest of the awesome world. There are two potential solutions:

1. New Game+, where you would be able to start from the beginning and keep your level, equipment, completion status (though quests can still be replayed), etc.

2. (IDEAL) Ability to either chapter select or return to Bloomtown at different points in time.
- Have a chapter select
- Replay side quests, particularly with the purpose of resetting any you may have failed or the ability to see a different outcome (just awarding money rather than more powerful rewards in the case that you've already completed it)
- Replay / re-enter the game's dungeons in case you missed anything

I want to be able to complete everything on my existing save that I spent so much time on, if possible. I can't imagine there's enough different to warrant wanting to start over from the beginning to complete a few achievements and missed pieces of smaller content, so I would love to be able to just add longevity to the file I already have.

Has anyone else finished the game? Let me know what you think, or if I'm totally missing something! So far it feels very "old design" in that you are just put at your last auto-save before the end of the game and can effectively just rewatch the credits.

Hi! I played the demo for 3 minutes (I didn't want to give away any more of the plot so I could play it in one sitting) and immediately realised that this is a game that is simply amazing; beautiful and well cared for. I only have one question to decide whether to buy it immediately and I was looking for someone who has just finished it: Do the choices matter? There doesn't have to be multiple endings but... do the choices have any weight in the plot?
And if by the way you could say how much it would be great :)
Best regards and thanks in advance.

Not especially. But I am a REAL critic of games that even suggest the choices matter… because almost none of them ever do. Creating a game without more than a tiny handful of such choices would be a massive undertaking.

There are technically 3 endings. All stemming from one choice near the end.

There are a few other choices that don’t change the overall plot much, but do affect those involved, mostly related to side quests.

The ones I enjoyed the most, though, were largely irrelevant, even to side quests, but made me feel more a part of the story. I won’t spoil much. But there are many opportunities (and outcomes) with moral decisions that don’t radically change anything, even within their brief window, but it’s nice to have those options and see Emily play them out (and others react)
