Another Eden Begins is another (tee-hee) mobile JRPG receiving an offline version, removing every live-service feature and tuning into a full-fledged adventure with a clear beginning, middle, and end. It's a very welcome shift and a trend that I appreciate deeply, especially if it leads to more titles being embraced by new audiences.
However, unlike other previously mobile-only games that reshaped themselves to adapt to an offline format, I felt that Another Eden Begins was almost a 1:1 port, keeping its narrative structure virtually intact from the mobile version, which resulted in a plot that is a bit clunky and sometimes far too abrupt. The turn-based gameplay is satisfying and introduces some new interesting mechanics that, unfortunately, I didn't need to fully engage with until the second half because the JRPG was far too easy.
There is still something to enjoy in Another Eden Begins, and I imagine veterans of the original game will love revisiting its first story arc. But if you're an eclectic JRPG fan expecting something truly groundbreaking or distinct, it may be better to look elsewhere or at least temper your expectations.
Another Eden Begins was penned by Masato Kato, the writer behind two small, unknown JRPGs: Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross. Unsurprisingly, the game features a time-travel theme, along with plenty of references to those two titles. The beginning of the adventure shows a brief backstory involving a beastfolk and some young ones being rescued by a human, before revealing that the humans are our protagonist, Aldo, and his sister, Feinne.
Fast-forward some years, and the beastfolk attack Aldo's village and kidnap his sister, Feinne. In an attempt to save her, the hero takes a beating from the Beast King and ends up swallowed by a time rift, kicking off his entire voyage through space and time. I believe this is the third time-travel JRPG I've reviewed for the site, and as I always say, I don't demand scientific accuracy from the concept. After all, it doesn't exist! However, if a story presents rules for its notion of time travel, I expect it to respect them to the very end.
Another Eden Begins might be the game that cares least about potential paradoxes, conveniences, and time-travel rules. There are situations where they literally take someone from the past to the future for a stroll just for fun. And okay, if that was the approach, I had no problem with it. Until the plot started taking itself seriously, showing how tiny influences in the past alter the entire future, and I started getting a bit annoyed. You have to pick a lane, plot.
