I play a lot of JRPGs and this one is by far the best I've played in the 2020s (played it on my Switch). 8 great (independent) story lines (especially the lower class thief girl!!) even with hefty capitalism critic I've never seen that outspoken and on point in a Japanese production. Beware: Some themes are very serious, it's definitely NOT for kids, despite the looks.
I prefer this every time to pompous and overblown theatrical western RPGs like Divinity: Original Sin II, but maybe that's just me.
Highly recommended (don't get part 1, it sucks in comparison).
