In Solistia, a land of eastern and western continents, eight travelers set out for different reasons. Play through each character’s chapter-based story as their journeys unfold across the realm.
Explore towns, wilderness, ruins, rivers, and open sea on foot, by canoe, or aboard a ship. Each traveler has distinct Path Actions for interacting with townspeople, such as obtaining items, gathering information, challenging them, or recruiting help. The time of day can be changed, affecting townspeople and the actions available.
In turn-based battles, discover enemy weaknesses and break their defenses, then use Boost to strengthen actions and seize an advantage. Develop travelers’ jobs and skills, combine primary and secondary jobs, and use each character’s unique abilities and latent power to shape your party’s approach.
Players who enjoy the game often highlight its tactical turn-based battles, striking HD-2D presentation, soundtrack, and sense of discovery while exploring the world. Some also value the individual character journeys and their concluding moments. Criticism commonly focuses on the travelers feeling disconnected during much of the story, along with frequent random encounters and uneven writing.
