This looks neat. I'm gonna go off on a tangent though and say that the clothing bothers me. This is set in like... The late 1800s? The clothing looks like modern stitching and machine-made. I put up with this but it's a trend in games I've noticed lately that I am really not a fan of. If devs are gonna make a period drama then the costume design should be more accurate to the period setting.

It ends up looking like cosplay and it bugs me.

Game looks good though don't get me wrong. This is just a pet peeve in modern games I'm seeing over and over again. Material and textiles science needs to match the setting. I don't necessarily mind outlandish outfits though as long as the materials and textiles actually look like something produced around the date of the setting. These are all modern textiles, modern sewing machines, modern materials, and on top of that they're using modern cuts and styles, mostly the designs are made around zippers but during the 1800s everything would be buttons looped through holes, there'd be much more creases and everything would be looser.

This is something that uses materials I think would fit better:

Yea honestly character design for this game is kinda eh

The monsters look cool enough but the characters kinda look like bootleg final fantasy characters
