The synopsis for Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms has my attention. Is it best to go in knowing very little?

Cian, i have added a boost too. Would be interesting to see how it sits beside the other choices.

Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms is one I am weighing up. I would like to see this in the six with a few very different choices around it.
