What stands out
- Presentation: The world and characters (notably Estelle and Joshua) are recreated with vibrant 3D visuals and smooth field-to-town transitions that make exploration satisfying and cohesive.
- Story and characters: The core narrative follows Estelle and her brother Joshua as junior Bracers investigating their father Cassius’s disappearance. The game balances main-story moments with a steady stream of side requests and character interactions that deepen the journey.
