The game's story is engaging and reminiscent of classic Final Fantasy titles, offering a compelling narrative that keeps players immersed for hours. While the dialogue and overall storytelling are considered serviceable, they fit within the dragon warrior/quest style, providing a more substantial narrative compared to the developer's previous titles. Overall, the combination of a rich story, diverse characters, and exploration elements contributes to an addictive gameplay experience.
- “The storyline is good and is definitely a game you will sit down to play, and hours will go by before you realize it.”
- “It definitely has that old school Final Fantasy vibe, but with a much more compelling story.”
- “The story, gameplay, and good number of characters (with their unique skills and magic) is addictive and enjoyable, with plenty of places and islands to explore outside of the main story quest, and getting an airship is a bonus.”
- “The story and dialogue are only serviceable, which can be justified due to the dragon warrior/quest style this time. At least there is a story this time in contrast to the developer's 8th game 'The Grindstone', but other games made by the developer, like 'Angel Made' or 'Seventh Star', lay a much greater focus on the story.”

The gameplay is engaging and addictive, featuring a rich story, diverse characters with unique abilities, and expansive exploration opportunities, including airship travel. Battles are turn-based and can be challenging, requiring strategic preparation, though a basic understanding of JRPG mechanics is usually enough to succeed. The absence of a veteran experience system marks a departure from previous titles, but this change aligns well with the game's overall design.
- “The story, gameplay, and good number of characters (with their unique skills and magic) is addictive and enjoyable, with plenty of places and islands to explore outside of the main story quest. Getting an airship is a bonus.”
- “Battles, which are all random encounters except for the bosses, are the usual turn-based fare. They can be challenging if you don't prepare for them or if you take them lightly, but even just moderate knowledge about JRPG mechanics should be sufficient to prevail over any foe in this game.”
- “On the other hand, contrary to its predecessors, the game does without a veteran experience system (i.e., no earning another experience currency to spend on passive skills and stat boosts), but I can easily see how this system wouldn't have been a good fit (stylistically and mechanically) this time.”
- “Battles, which are all random encounters except for the bosses, are the usual turn-based fare. They can be challenging if you don't prepare for them or if you take them lightly, but even moderate knowledge about JRPG mechanics should be sufficient to prevail over any foe in this game.”
- “The gameplay feels repetitive and lacks innovation, making it hard to stay engaged for long periods.”
- “The pacing of the game is off, with long stretches of grinding that detract from the overall experience.”
