The main pros of the game

  • Rich World-Building: The game features an imaginative and uniquely structured world composed of seven layered continents, each with distinct cultures and lore.
  • Engaging Storyline: The narrative includes political intrigue, ancient prophecies, and well-developed characters, particularly the protagonist, Maya.
  • Strategic Combat System: The turn-based combat mechanics, including the Active Time Battle (ATB) system and the Fate Card magic system, provide depth and tactical options.
  • Voice Acting: The game features commendable voice acting for its time, adding personality to the characters.

The main cons of the game

  • Slow Pacing: Combat encounters can feel sluggish, with lengthy animations that cannot be skipped, leading to a tedious experience.
  • Dated Visuals: The graphics, while charming in a retro sense, show their age with low-resolution character models and recycled NPC designs.
  • Clunky Controls and UI: The game suffers from unpolished navigation and controls, particularly on modern systems, which can disrupt the gameplay experience.
  • Repetitive Combat: Enemy encounters can become monotonous due to frequent battles, excessive backtracking, and the tendency for attacks to miss.

The features or elements that are missing from the game according to users

  • Improved Map and Navigation: Users expressed a desire for better map details and navigation aids to alleviate the confusion in maze-like dungeons.
  • Quality of Life Improvements: Many reviews suggested the need for modern updates, such as faster combat animations, clearer quest objectives, and better compatibility with current operating systems.
  • Remaster or Update: There is a consensus that a remaster could significantly enhance the experience by addressing technical issues and refining gameplay mechanics to suit contemporary standards.

Summary

  • Overall, while Septerra Core is recognized for its creative world and engaging story, it is also critiqued for its outdated mechanics and pacing, making it a title best suited for nostalgic players or those willing to endure its flaws.
