My humble impressions,game is installed
Graphics:good,iq is great it seems that they have some sort of selective aa going on,very little "jaggies".Shadowing,self-shadowing is great.
Pop-up is present,slowdown during combat also,but i got used to that very quickly,minor problems for me.
Slowdown during combat is especially useful for getting QTEs right,QTEs are very similar to Lost Odyssey ring system,buttons used are x,y,b,a and rt.But if you want you can "disable" them,auto or manual setting.
If you put on auto the only thing that you will see is "perfect" or "miss".
Cities are divided into very small areas like "merchant street","city square",..etc.When you reach end of an area,you go back to the city map,so there is not to much to explore in the cities.
Fields on the other hand are huge for you to explore.
Framerate in cities and fields is great,no slowdown at all.
The best thing about this game is definitely the combat,people that like turn based systems are going to be pleased.You have unions,each union is basically like one "character" in combat.Each union consists of multiple characters,hp of the union is the combined hp of its characters,etc...
Battles can be very big and long,depending on the enemy count and strength.If you engage more enemies,the bigger the reward will be if you win.You can also capture monsters in battle,to sell them later or split them for parts,you can make your own equipment or upgrade things that you have,..etc
Story,my verdict is decent so far(15 hour in).
And yes you can save anywhere.
