One of the greatest RPG's I've ever played, and I've played most of them.
Went straight from FF6 to Octopath Traveler II to Black Souls and I prefer Black Souls out of all of them, just my 2-cents. Exploring the world was funner and more rewarding, breaking the game was funner, and I vastly preferred the story.
Other RPG games feel sterile/lackluster in comparison.
