You lead a party of four through Sequoia, where the stated goal is to find crystals and bring balance to the land. The route is largely up to you, with a light narrative and few interruptions as you explore.
Travel through connected outdoor regions, caves, and dungeons by jumping, climbing, and finding mounts and other ways to reach new areas. Search for crystals, equipment, monsters, and hidden routes, with some paths opening as your movement options expand.
Finding crystals unlocks classes. Assign each character a class and subclass, learn abilities and passives, and equip gear to shape your party. Turn-based battles provide information about enemies and upcoming turns, letting you plan around their attacks and manage threat.
In the supplied reviews, players often praise the freedom and rewards of exploring, especially finding hidden areas and unexpected routes. They also enjoy experimenting with class combinations and preparing tactically for challenging battles. Some reviewers find the platforming or navigation frustrating, and many note that the story is sparse; opinions differ on how much those elements affect the experience.
Explore the world, find Crystals, and fulfill the prophecy to bring balance to the land of Sequoia.
...Or maybe you'd rather spend your time collecting neat equipment and artifacts? Or tame strange creatures and fill out all the entries in your archive? Or perhaps you'd rather hunt down every monster and conquer the world's toughest bosses. Or maybe you'd rather travel to the farthest reaches of the land and uncover the world's greatest mysteries.
The choice is yours, as it should be! Or is it? They say that those who stray out of line will be punished, killed, or worse. Maybe it's for your own good that you stick to collecting Crystals, just like everyone else. But where would the adventure be in that?
