   Me faltan palabras para comenzar a describir lo que Lost Sphear provocó en mí. Todo comenzó como un típico jrpg que parecía ser bastanteMe faltan palabras para comenzar a describir lo que Lost Sphear provocó en mí. Todo comenzó como un típico jrpg que parecía ser bastante genérico. Combates por turnos, ágiles, divertidos y una historia que se parecía a otras que había ya vivido en juegos anteriores, varios personajes con los cuales formamos un equipo, cada uno con su rol relativamente definido, lo usual en el género. Sin embargo, luego de la mitad del juego comencé a verdaderamente comprender la profundidad del sistema de combate, realmente en Lost Sphear se hizo un trabajo de relojería en cuanto a la inmensa cantidad de opciones que tenemos para personalizar el sistema de combate, así como el
   generar una necesidad en el jugador casi adictiva de explorar a fondo cada alternativa disponible.
   
   Los personajes son tremendamente carismáticos y entrañables. De alguna manera, todos tienen su oportunidad de brillar durante el desarrollo de la historia prinicipal de manera que podemos conocer su personalidad y, por supuesto, encariñarnos con ellos como me pasó a mí. La trama si bien es la clásica historia que comienza de una forma relativamente cotidiana y terminas salvando al mundo, está relatada de una manera apasionante y contempla algunos giros inesperados que realmente sorprenden.
   A pesar de todo lo anterior, lo mejor de Lost Sphear es lejos su banda sonora. La música es sencillamente maravillosa y adictiva , muchas veces me vi entrando a combates solo para escuchar la música de estos. Compuesta específicamente para el juego , ésta se caracteriza básicamente por melodías en piano y violín que calzan perfectamente con la atmósfera de nostalgia/angustia que pretende transmitir (exisamente) el juego.
   En conclusión, Lost Sphear se posiciona junto a Ni no Kuni, Tales of Vesperia, Octopath Traveler y BOTW dentro de los top ten de los mejores JRPG que jamás he jugado, se lo recomiendo profundamente a todo amante de los RPG como yo. Sin embargo, para personas con menos experiencia en el género, recomiendo jugar primero I am Setsuna (de los mismos creadores, pero es un juego más simple), para terminar con Lost Sphear.… Expand

It really rejuvenates the old school JRPG vibe that the 90s brought us, it is significantly better than I am Setsuna, and while still flawed, playing it on the go, and being able to pick up ad play and put down at any time really keeps the story alive.… Expand

   I really think that Lost Sphear deserves more love. I really liked the story and after the first 10 hours the story shifts and it gets deeperI really think that Lost Sphear deserves more love. I really liked the story and after the first 10 hours the story shifts and it gets deeper so for me the story was really good and enjoying. The combat was little frustraiting especially with the Vulcosuits, the bossfigths were challenging and enjoyable. Overall great game and I think its up there with "i am Setsuna"… Expand

   I was honestly shocked when i came here and saw thw 69 critic review the game is a solid jrpg if you like them. You can move around in combatI was honestly shocked when i came here and saw thw 69 critic review the game is a solid jrpg if you like them. You can move around in combat attack multiple enemies at once has a deep upgrade and combat system and the graphics look great. Boss fights are challenging like persona so its keeps things fresh id say a 7.5/8 is the correct score for the game cant wait to see tokyo rpg factories next project because this one has me hooked… Expand

The characters and the story are getting only interesting after basically 20 hours playtime. After the 20 hours you get really attached to the characters and the story gets very interesting and existing. Lets talk about the elephant in the room, the graphics, yes the graphics are not that appealing and it looks like a game that should been released on the 3DS or the PSP. Also the difficulty, I played most of the time in normal difficulty and bosses ranged from brutally hard to super easy, there is really no consistency.
   
   I also noticed there is really no way to grind and strengthen your Characters besides upgrading armor which is kinda weird for a JRPG. Also some quality of life choices are missing, there is no fast travel, no way to exit a dungeon without walking back to the entry (frustrating in the later big dungeons if you can't beat a boss and need to spend a eternity to get back to a city) For the Story, the Story is great, it's unique and very enjoyable, BUT there a little Mechs that are called Volcosuits and they really feel like a big afterthought, they don't bring anything significant to the story. All in all if you are looking for a decent JRPG on Switch and can look past the graphics you should definitely check this one out.… Expand

There is hardly any character development at all so you never get invested in whats happening and when they finally try to start throwing some background in halfway through it comes out of no where. This game is like a solid outline for what could of been a good game. The story is there and their are some nice twists along the way, but they spent no time in exploring the characters so a lot of the game is just really boring. On top of that the writing is pretty bad too. Compared to I am Setuna, its spiritual predecessor, this game is worse in most every way. There are some nice tweaks to the battle system and the dungeons have a more varied design, but this doesn't make up for all its other short comings. There was no need for this game to be so rushed and it could of been a really good game if they had just taken the time to do it right. If you really want a more old school style JRPG this will do, but there are so many better games on the Switch that its really not worth picking up.… Expand
