The anime style visuals are vibrant and the character designs are clean and appealing. Combat feels responsive and flashy, which makes the early hours exciting.

The world design is colorful and lively but it doesn’t always feel meaningful. Many quests follow the typical go here, defeat this, collect that structure, which can get stale pretty quickly. Progression sometimes feels overly grind heavy and certain systems aren’t explained clearly enough, leaving players to figure things out on their own. While the game tries to balance accessibility and depth, it ends up feeling somewhat shallow in the mid-to-late game.

Overall, I’d say is decent but not groundbreaking. It has strong visual appeal and solid core mechanics, if you enjoy anime style MMOs and don’t mind some repetitive grinding, you’ll probably have fun. Just don’t expect something else.

i played this for awhile even before coming to steam, i mainly focus for casual and interactions with friends, but sadly my group has stopped playing because they are busy and has their own circles. but it's been fun either way.

The lifeskills which includes,fishing cooking mining, etc is a decent but timegated activity, it helps your progression and also let you sell some of them to make in game money. there are raids, but i don't do that so read other people's review about it.

regarding lifeskill i think smelting is the most stable money income, because many people would still need to enhance, or maybe because i rarely enhance and keep running out of money and materials, but i do sell the materials that i craft and earn money from it to buy cosmetics, which is another thing that available in the game.

sadly as someone coming from PSO2NGS, and this might be unfair, but i find the costume selection that is accesible is lacking, but then again might be unfair comparison. I do prefer this art style, but the lack of clothing choice both for free currency, paid currency is quite sad.

I also observe the season 2 in global for short while seems like the lifeskill and cosmetic is not the aim of the devs. since we havent got new free orb costumes. and only the ones we had in season 1.

The QOL updates that is already available for season 2 in global, somehow is unable to be implemented by the devs for season 1 so we still had issue managing materials, modules etc.

traversal is very fun, but you need to level up first, or buy mounts with real money. still so much better than genshin style gacha for map traversal of the region.

BUT if all the negative that i had doesnt matter to you, then this is a fine game. also its way smaller than PSO2NGS in game storage size, it's also partly the reason why i previously favours the game more.

good f2p friendly mmo
