What sets it apart from Chrono Trigger for me is tone, Chrono Trigger moves fast and never lingers, this one wants you to sit with its world and its people. Persona 4 Golden does that too but through school life instead of a road trip, so the comparison only goes so far.

ça me rappelle mes soirées avec mon frère, lui à la manette moi à commenter les combats

Am I the only one who thinks 144th feels about right, maybe even generous? Genshin Impact pulls in way more players and somehow sits lower, so what exactly is the ELO measuring here? The combat is charming but it's the same turn-based loop the series has run for ages, so where's the case for it climbing higher?

Replying to Craig_2007
La transition tu la ressens dans le rythme ou dans l'histoire (curieux, j'ai jamais fini au delà de cette partie) ?
ArcadeHunter
¿Contra qué exactamente debería perder, según tú, para que el puesto 144 te parezca justo?
Craig_2007
Oh sure, it's obviously losing to something groundbreaking and not just older favorites everyone already knows.

My daughter picked her own party setup before she could even read the skill names properly, just liked the pictures, and somehow it worked better than Genshin ever did for us as a shared thing.

I've played maybe 90 hours across two save files and the pacing still gets to me around the midpoint, it drags before it earns the payoff.

The pacing dip you mention hit me too, right around when the story takes its big turn.

Fell asleep to it more times than I'd like to admit (in the best way possible).
QuestPhoenix
Fair point (still love it though).
