I’m hearing the marketing for this one is on the spoilery side (as is frequently the case with Falcom), so beware.
There’s definitely an argument for that, even if it can be hard to see at times because Reverie is all wrapped in the “Cold Steel” software package.
Big part of why I liked Reverie is because I’m a huge fan of Crossbell. Azure is one of my all-time favorite games. Loved Zero, too.
