I feel like you’re giving the game way too much credit when it comes to the graphics. Yeah, they a certain Ghibli charm, but the character models are really ugly and poorly animated. Plus, the character designs are really bland and not nearly as inspired as anything in a Ghibli film.
Also, I definitely wouldn’t say the game starts well. There’s no opening cutscene or tutorial. You’re just abruptly thrown in and then when you manage to find the old person who gives you your quest, you just get a big wall of text telling you you’re the chosen one and all this nonsense. It’s really bad.
