This game is incredible, though I'm slightly miffed about only ever getting to free roam in the monastery.
Is it so difficult to do with an overworld map what Shining Force 1 and 2 did for Sega Genesis?
Definitely a great game, but not at all comparable to BotW. BotW was groundbreaking, this is more of an "it's about time someone made a decent game like this" sort of thing.
The hype is a little much right now. This is not game of the year material, as great as it is.
