     Unfortunately, the downloads don't include the character sheets, and the
rulebooks don't include character sheets either.  So, you can't actually
play, unless everyone wants to play as Chocobos (who do have stats in the
rulebooks).  
     The shop page says the starter is being reprinted, but I don't recall it
ever being available in the first place...EU-release only?

     Dave Van Domelen, notes the system looks pretty 5E-derived.
