The game's story is criticized for its slow pacing and convoluted plot, featuring a chosen one with amnesia who completes quests in a disjointed manner. Players express frustration over quest management, including the inability to abandon failed missions and the lack of clear objectives, while some appreciate the variety of optional quests and the freedom to explore. Overall, while the narrative has potential and offers engaging elements, it suffers from design oversights and a lack of coherence.
- “The story, gameplay, graphics, and everything has been either completely updated or expanded.”
- “In short, I greatly recommend this game for those who appreciate a good story, tens of hours of gameplay (more if you do side quests or your own thing, such as catching all the pets, etc.), and if you like story quests that don't have only one outcome, but many based on how you have played the game so far and how you've previously interacted with the quest-giver or specific NPCs along the way.”
- “Let me just say this is one game that tries its hardest to step out of its RPG Maker format for there's loads of interesting content that is typically not associated with RPG Makers, such as the enormous world, a wide web of main and side quests, and real-time combat.”
- “To make matters worse, you can often complete quests before officially receiving them, rendering them unfinishable once you do receive them—a glaring oversight in the game’s design.”
- “The plot heavily features a chosen one savior who happens to have amnesia wandering around performing quests as the plot is revealed painfully slowly.”
- “The story mode makes no sense.”

- “In short, I greatly recommend this game for those who appreciate a good story, tens of hours of gameplay (more if you do side quests or your own thing, such as catching all the pets, etc.), and if you like story quests that don't have only one outcome, but many based on how you have played the game so far and how you've previously interacted with the quest-giver or specific NPCs along the way.”
- “Expect frequent crashes that disrupt gameplay and make it difficult to maintain any momentum.”
- “The sense of exploration is undermined by the realization that most areas are filler, contributing little to the narrative or gameplay experience.”

- “I think the graphics could use a bit of tune-up, and the controls aren't exactly intuitive, but it's coming along.”
