Visuals look great | Some of the environments are still a bit too bland and NPCs get copy/pasted too often, but that’s where my critique on the visual end for this game.Not that the combat isn’t enjoyable, but when you can let the computer take the wheel, it’s very tempting… (I reckon this will mirror our near-future with self-driving cars…) The other downside is that I did catch myself grabbing my phone to scroll on social media as soon as a battle commenced. The AI is adept at making the right choices, with the only caveat being that it likes to use the most effective healing items a tad too generously.

You can also turn on auto-battle and let the AI do the decision-making, speeding along the game even further. Autobattle & Speed-up | Ever since Bravely Default (at least I think they started it) there has been a trend in JRPGs to include the option to speed up the turn-based battle animations, saving the player from having to see the same special attacks at regular speed again and again.

I guess no one really likes these, so good riddance and a great evolution for the genre. Each world also has optional bounties to hunt or side-quests to complete and the reward is usually worth your while. Later on, you can even use Nico Robin’s ability to fuse equipment together, and that’s when the tactical possibilities really open up.
