Playing this felt like i was brought back to my childhood days reading jin yong novels, watching classic wuxia. It is clear whoever wrote this story had love for the genre, instead of the numerous generic "slap your face" stories out there. this is a story about honor, pasts, friendship, brotherhood, and tragedies. If you love the genre you will love this game.
I never leave reviews for anything, this is one of the all time greatest RPG's I've ever played. It's very reminiscent of Chrono Trigger in the way it tells it's story in a way where you can play a completely different game from one play-through to the next, including a New Game+ style feature where you can enter the game stronger than previous play-through's in order to see more of the game or try out a different play style to see a new ending. My lone complaint of the game stems from something others may find to be a positive. In the vein of older RPG's where you seemingly needed to know the correct way through the game to get a full complete play-through, there are many secrets in this game you can miss by making one decision. I'm not a huge fan of choosing 1 incorrect conversation choice and missing an entire segment of the game because of it. This is a must buy, and if it's on sale and you don't buy it, you're only depriving yourself of a wonderful RPG. This should be the game that ushers in a new era of Chinese mythological RPG's that can give us all new great stories to enjoy for years.
