Someone also on reddit did a mock up of the neat visual design choices at work and how it directs player attention without needing billboard interface overlay or neon arrows:

Ever since 1997's Final Fantasy Tactics for the PS1, fans have been waiting for a true successor to the game. There have been plenty of decent follow-ups and the Fire Emblem games have only gotten better in the time since, but nothing has quite captured the mix of political storytelling and imaginative class system of…

You’re missing my point; why is the dichotomy between flinging yourself in and figuring it out, verses putting the game aside and googling a goddamn video?

Great to see, when all of the content started being ‘Partnered’ and with the comments closed I was terribly worried this place had gone the way of Deadspin, very happy to witness collective action at work in winning gains for labour.
