“Kbb:ff wisely focuses more on its own story than trying to just be a tie-in, and it works very well.”
“I genuinely believe Roblox's story and mechanics could have been something entirely on their own.”
“I have some minor disagreements with one or two side quests in terms of how the information is presented, but overall the non-narrative parts are fantastic.”
“I've not finished the game, at the point of this review, but after 8 or so hours I feel like I've gotten pretty far into the story, having done almost all side-bosses save for one up until now.”

“Well, some of the early levels came with the same high-pitched music, which was a bit annoying.”
“The combat in the game is decidedly average and doesn't hold much depth near the end besides just using your party's most powerful moves and the puzzles are pretty simple, but the game makes up for it in its writing, art, and music.”
“The OST is full of original chip-tunes that do a more than serviceable job of setting each world's tone.”

Players appreciate the grinding aspect of the game, noting that it allows for diverse character development and team utility, making it enjoyable to level up lesser-used members. The difficulty scaling is well-balanced, with encounters providing a challenge without excessive grinding, and players can often avoid tougher enemies through strategic gameplay. Overall, grinding is seen as a manageable and rewarding part of the experience.
“The game's difficulty scaling is appreciated; I've been playing in 'danger mode,' which seems to be the medium setting. With a bit of grinding, I have not found too many things difficult to traverse without figuring out the gimmick I had to circumnavigate. However, the Russia level seems to have a difficulty spike due to the number of enemies you encounter that can hit hard, but the game's 'touch the sprite to encounter' style allows you to avoid them as long as you can.”
“Well-paced difficulty at normal: encounters are always challenging, but you'll rarely die. Not much shopping and even less grinding is required.”
“If you're like me and crave having a team all around the same level, grinding lesser-used crew members is not an issue.”
