CompletionistMaster The depth of this game hit me instantly. With a roster of unique skyfarers, detailed side quests, collectibles, and the accessibility options, it offers lots of comprehensive elements to explore. However, some users have mentioned the game’s difficulty spikes, especially when you limit break your character. That could be a concern for those who prefer a smoother difficulty progression.

SpeedyGamer99 On a speedrunning perspective, the key seems to be mastering the real-time combat system. User reviews tell that each character rightly has their own strengths and weaknesses. I reckon figuring out these elements will greatly enhance our completion times.

PlayerProX Well, I for one appreciate the game’s emphasis on teamwork. Utilizing Link Attacks and Chain Bursts effectively could make for some exciting competitive play. Though, one user pointed out the lack of crossplay, which could affect the game’s cooperative potential.

NewGamer Visually, it feels like you’re sailing through a grand adventure among the clouds. The animations are smooth and colorful casting a charm that is typically reflected in JRPGs. The Sky Realm is richly detailed, catering to the wonder of exploration.

SpeedyGamer99 Every character seems well-crafted with their own unique weapons, skills, and combat styles. I think this large cast will definitely influence speedruns, as it entails figuring out the fastest line up for specific tasks or battles.

PlayerProX The endgame has got a mention in almost every user review. Being a Monster Hunter MMO-lite sort of experience, it appears to offer significant replayability, and I’m looking forward to mastering this aspect.

NewGamer In terms of improvements, I’d love to see even more interaction with the environments. More hidden corners and secrets would make exploring these floating islands more thrilling. And definitely enhancements in multiplayer would be a welcome addition.

CompletionistMaster I agree with improvements in multiplayer and also the difficulty balancing. And a suggestion for the developers: consider a more detailed in-game encyclopedia. It’ll be interesting to delve deeper into the rich history they’ve created.

SpeedyGamer99 I’m all for more optimization in character controls and combat system – anything that can give us speedrunners the edge!
