Replayability<\/h5>\n\n
\"Jauge<\/figure>\n\n

The game is very long, so some may be discouraged at the thought of redoing the entire game once it’s finished. A bonus system allows those who decide to start their game again to give benefits like galds<\/em> (game money), levels, items, etc.<\/p>\n\n

Difficulty<\/h5>\n\n
\"Jauge<\/figure>\n\n

The game is very difficult. Characters often die. The game requires a lot of grinding<\/em> (fighting against enemies over and over again in order to increase the level of the characters). It is necessary to master all the many mechanics and controls of the game in order to perform well. The game has an “easy”, “normal” and “difficult” mode.<\/p>\n\n

Violence, fear, nudity?<\/h5>\n\n
\"Jauge<\/figure>\n\n

The heart of the game is in the fights. You have to defeat monsters or characters by attacking them with weapons and casting spells (fire, electricity, projectiles, etc.). There is no blood in the fighting, but there is blood in some cutscenes. There are characters who wear costumes that show a lot of skin.<\/p>\n\n

Language level used<\/h5>\n\n
\"Jauge<\/figure>\n\n

The dialogues refer to alcohol consumption, violence and death. Metaphors and euphemisms are used to address the topic of sexual relations. Swearing is used a few times.<\/p>\n\n

Positive message<\/h5>\n\n
\"Jauge<\/figure>\n\n

The game conveys a message of freedom and revolution in the face of tyrants. Some conflicts between the characters are settled in pacifist ways, but most are settled with fighting. A message of cooperation and friendship is also conveyed, but more subtly.<\/p>\n\n

Minimum reading level required<\/h5>\n\n
\"Jauge<\/figure>\n\n

The game contains a lot of dialogue and texts. You must have several years of experience in reading. Most of the mechanics of the game are explained by quite complex texts. Possibility to put the subtitles and the texts of the menus in French. The dialogues are spoken in English and Japanese, as desired.<\/p>\n\n

Additional costs ?<\/h5>\n\n
\"Jauge<\/figure>\n\n

The game offers several paid downloadable content that is not necessary in order to enjoy the game. Some will be tempted to buy the downloadable content in order to accelerate the progress of the game. Before you spend more, try the “easy” mode first.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The list of downloadable content is very long, and will not be displayed in full. Here is the list of content that is the most relevant to know:<\/p>\n\n

Premium Item Pack<\/strong> – $12.99: to have a faster and easier game progression.<\/p>\n\n
