It is a common enough idea that a crossover of two recognised series could potentially affect the game. However, it really does not have that great an impact. Since the developers have made sure that the game runs on its own path and works independently, it does not matter if the players are unaware of either of the games or series.

Verdict

Anime fans will love the game as will the JRPG’s lovers. The lead character, Itsuki, is a pretty plain character. It would have been better to see the lead with a vibrant personality. Since the player is supposed to take on Itsuki’s character, it is understandable that he didn’t receive much in terms of a personality, but nonetheless, it would have been an interesting game.
