Pros & Cons

Pros

Predictive Imaginary Chain combat enables tactical planning.

Cons

Large dungeons feature bland, repetitive exploration.
Visuals, environments, and production values are dated.
Combat becomes easy and automation-dependent after its initial novelty.
Convoluted plotting slows progression and unevenly develops the large cast.
