The narrative itself is engaging but at the same time feels a little light on depth, some of which is due to the gameworld. You'll have close to 20 playable characters by the end, and though some are better fleshed out than others, many are likable. Whether it's Capell getting thoroughly browbeaten by the idealistic princess Aya, the adorable scamps Rico and Rucha chatting in excitement, or the serene priest Eugene offering some sage insight while adjusting his glasses, you're always learning something new about the characters and their motivations. Capell, the protagonist, is a cowardly musician who mysteriously is a twin to Sigmund in appearance, which gets him unwillingly wrapped up in the troubles of nations.Īll of the characters are well defined, and it's easy to come to know and grow fond of them through the game's preponderance of narrative cutscenes (some silly dialogue notwithstanding). The people's only hope is Sigmund the Liberator, a man with the ability to cut the chains and restore the world to normal. Everything's in disarray because a group called the Order of the Chains has shackled the moon to the earth, disrupting the normal flow of power and bringing the two heavenly bodies on a collision course. Humans who are born under auspicious moon phases are tattooed with sigils known as Lunaglyphs, which grant power and the ability to cast spells. The world of Infinite Undiscovery is influenced heavily by the moon, which is home to a god who is revered as a source of magical blessing.
When the world is in danger, be sure to ask nearby furry creatures for assistance.
Square Enix manages to provide the frame of a role-playing game epic that falls short on execution. Infinite Undiscovery is sadly an example of how flawed design and myriad imperfections can mar an otherwise enjoyable adventure. Role-playing games strike a tricky balance between gameplay and narrative that is easy to take for granted when everything goes together correctly.
