Reynatis review - an imperfect, but fascinating, reality based on a fantasy
Briefly

Reynatis is an action-RPG developed by Natsume Atari and FuRyu, set in contemporary Shibuya, but with a twist - magic is real, and wizards are an oppressed people judged and criminalised by society.
Director Isobe Takumi hasn't tried to pretend the RPG hasn't taken cues from the later revamped Final Fantasy Versus 13, and with Kingdom Hearts writer Kazushige Nojima and series composer Yoko Shimomura fulfilling the same roles on Reynatis.
There are six playable characters in all, but the focus is put on two to start, Marin Kirizumi, a stray wizard, and Sari Nishijima, a wizard cop with a quest for vengeance.
Reynatis, while borrowing familiar aesthetics and storytelling mechanics from its RPG predecessors, still carves out a unique identity with its contemporary setting and morally complex narrative surrounding magic and wizards.
