yeah, the ffta comparisons REALLY do not fit. besides this game not being terrible, the only thing it has in common is that it uses sprites and is colorful. that's... really it. it's actually very much so what you'd expect when you think of pokemon/samurai warriors crossover in an SRPG format. pokemon being the dominant portion, koei's secondary. i wasn't sure what to expect out of it and couldn't really imagine it, but playing through this game says that this is... right to what that mix ought to be like. some tweaks here and there that can use improvement (especially speed, goddamn), but they've got everything right.
