1. Good layout. I shouldn't have to traverse through an entire section to get back around to another side or area cause of badly placed corridors, teleporters etc.
2. Fast movement. This is corrolates with 1 as I hate some metroidvania games you move slow for no reason and sometimes you gotta go through a bit to unlock some upgrade or ability that lets you move somewhat faster.
@SeantheDon29 Yeah I'm playing Harmony atm and the layout is just bad. I never had issue with the DS CV games layout in general. I'm hoping Aria of Sorrow is an improvement.
Just me or is circle of the moon a bit rough? I guess it was kinda their testbed for GBA CV then Harmony and then Aria respectively get better from there?
@Maxz Yeah man it's weird like when I got some games from Japan, I recall at least labyrinth of refrain and chocobo dungeon when inserted would show Japanese name but when they finish update the game name changes to english version and game uses english text for both.
In the case of Labyrinth it had english dub too. Coulda sworn the game came out in english later!
Honestly really enjoyed this on the PS4 to the point that I was looking forward to the 2 paid DLCs so I could do some more high level content and such.
Even if this might run a bit ass on switch people should still get it as you get quite a good amount of content in this package and is overall highly enjoyable.
