All this time, and whenever I replay I still giggle and fawn over Heval and Tujo. Yeah those two aren't ROs but I still love them both. Anyway, the actual 4 ROs hold a special place in my heart and I'm following the progress of this rich and inventive story eagerly.
Like the magic system and world building is so good that I'm getting caught up in those and the political maneuvering forgetting this is also a romance game so when the romance pops up again it's a pleasant and well paced reminder. That it's heavily based on/influenced by an actual culture just makes me very happy because I love seeing more cultures and peoples getting representation in media/literature. Can't wait for more!
