And, pop! again...

Nice. :)

I do wonder which engine they are currently using since first it was a rpg maker 2003 game i think.

Very cool! Wishlisted for now.

Hm, the gamepage says, that this game is a mix of western RPG and JRPG. How much W-RPG does it contain? Do I have control over character developement or is like in JRPGs, where you only get a message at level up and that`s all?

hmm... this looks really good, bought!

I haven't played the enhanced edition yet but here's what they say: So looks like it's the best of both worlds now (unless you're playing WRPGs to stack exploitables).

Nice to see more variety. Hopefully we can get more of their games here as well.

Wishlisted for now, because I'm already byuing Iron Danger and some tof the games on sale this week.

Honestly, when it comes to modern or even semi-modern games, that hasn't really felt like a distinction between the two sub-genres. Games like Dragon Quest 8 and the Etrian Odyssey games have you distributing skill points gained by leveling (in DQ8 you even do it at level up), and even as far back as Final Fantasy 5 and Dragon Quest 6 you have secondary systems that allow your characters to learn abilities (though often using something that's separate from XP). Furthermore, older WRPGs don't often give you much choice at level up; even in Baldur's Gate and its sequel, characters who aren't thieves or sorcerers don't get any choices for the majority of their level ups.

So I really think that difference isn't what distinguishes the two sub-genres. There's other differences that would work better, like the game's structure (description claims the game is open world, though it sounds like it's not level scaled, so some areas might be too difficult for a level 1 party), and whether townspeople have a full set of stats or are just sprites with a bit of dialog and no combat stats.

Edit: Thought of another difference, and that's the handling of resting. JRPGs generally only let you rest in specific designated places (like at inns), while WRPGs typically let you rest in arbitrary spots in the wilderness and dungeons.

I found a playthrough video:

I watched the first couple of hours for some reason and it seems like a low effort game with bad writing. This is the original not the "enhanced edition" but it would need quite some enhancement to be a decent game. There was almost nothing to do in those first couple of hours of what looks like a 10-15 hour game.

Thank you very much for this info!

Anyone can hace their taste, but I enjoyed this game inmensely. The visuals are gorgeus, with a good soundtrack. And even if the humour and story got cheesy at times, i really got invested with the world that was presented in the game. Please don't overlook Ara Fell, for me is a hidden gem.

Oh, good one. I played the old version and it was fun.
Sorry GOG, but you are again too late. I own this on steam (if I remember correct it was like most RPGMaker games DRM free) and got the updated version for free...now playing it again.

For some reason, this game reminds me of Lunar 2. One of the screenshots even looks like a Lunar 2 screenshot. Probably not as high a quality game as the Working Designs port, though. Still, seems worthwhile. My only hesitation is that it might have ATB or some other real-time combat, but it doesn't look like it.
