The translation really is subpar. While you can maybe figure out what is meant by things, it is entirely impossible for a primarily English speaker to experience any form of depth or character connection given the frequently nonsensical word choice and grammar.3 found this helpful
A tactical JRPG about a French chick and all the characters shout Japanese stuff when they attack. For some reason I find it hilarious in it's immersion breaking.
I really wish I could give it a positive rating, because this game really does some things well. The art style is nice, the soundtrack is ok, the tactics gameplay is competent, the story is fine, but it stumbles along the way. First, the game doesn't really have voice acting. The character have barks, they'll say one or two words when you go into a shop, at the start of their lines in story dialog and when making an attack, but most of the the is dead silent. Not a deal breaker, but when everything else in the game has a certain quality production to it, this really stands out.

She's clearly better than your troops and it takes a little while until they catch up to her, and she feels completely disconnected from the…
Had a good time with this one and really enjoyed the setting

At first glance it seems pretty charming. But then you realise that this game is definitely not for everyone
