Tips
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with the crafting system; substitutions are encouraged and lead to functional gear with different stats.
  • Focus on freezing enemies to make combat more manageable, especially early on.
  • The giant monster fights are a highlight; approach them as opportunities to learn and upgrade powerful spells.
  • Embrace the exploration aspect, especially in the first half of the game, as it offers a sense of discovery.
  • While the support cast is professional, don't expect deep interpersonal drama from them.
