  • story
    48 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is generally viewed as decent but suffers from brevity, with many players noting it can be completed in just a few hours due to cut content. While some appreciate the character development and optional events, others criticize the linearity and lack of depth in the main narrative, feeling it was rushed and left unresolved. Overall, the story has potential but is hampered by its short length and a focus on certain themes that may not appeal to all players.

    • “The story is also quite elaborate (if a bit convoluted), and has enough meat to it to carry the game by itself.”
    • “Good gameplay with a good story.”
    • “All you get is a bland battle system and you can complete the story in a shorter time because of cut content.”
    • “They couldn't even finish this story and they sequel bait at the end.”

    • “I'm not the type to enjoy hardcore RPG grinding, and I find it difficult even to level up my skills.”
