I first played this game at PAX East, and I got a review code recently!
I'm having a lot of fun with this indie RPG, which has some Persona life sim elements, tactical combat and a feisty female lead.
See below for my thoughts so far!

That's a wrap on Final Fantasy Tactics!
It took a bit for me to get invested, BUT THEN I COULDN'T STOP PLAYING.
I enjoyed the job system/combat, but as usual, I appreciated the story, cast more. What a ride!
And Ramza, Cid, Mustadio, and Agrias are all on my list of faves now!

I'm super excited that we won't have to wait long for it! 🤩

What do y'all want to see from it?

That's a wrap on the main story of Pokémon Z-A! 🤩
The real-time gameplay was a great change in formula; I loved the cast; the story and setting provided a solid backdrop, and THE ENDING WAS PEAK!
I may take a break for now, but I look forward to jumping into post-game soon!

I was recently chatting with @avengermags.bsky.social and she had the most spot-on take, on how empathy is kind of the super power of the Trails series.
It’s a series that has a whole roller coaster of experiences, but it definitely will touch your heart too, if you’re into that sorta thing 💝
