The story is generally regarded as solid but not overly complex, featuring engaging characters and dialogue that keep players invested in the narrative's direction. While some find the plot a bit cliché and short-lived amidst extensive grinding, the charming cast and optional post-game content add depth and value to the overall experience. Players can expect around 50 hours to complete the main story, with trophies tied to the narrative, making it accessible for those who prefer to avoid grinding.
- “The story is not anything too crazy or complex, but the characters and dialogue shared between both the main character (who at times can be a complete tool) and other characters is great and interesting enough to want to see which direction the game and its story goes.”
- “You are looking at a game that boasts class customizations, various ways to take care of enemy mobs, on-your-toes boss fights that challenge your understanding of the mechanics, a fun, engaging story, an excellent and charming cast that grows on you... and over twice the game's main campaign length in post-game dungeon content, for those who want even more challenge.”
- “Good artwork and funny storylines.”
- “You will spend so much time grinding in the dungeons that you will forget the story.”
- “When you do get to a story point, it is short-lived and given the amount of time you spend grinding, you will wish for more story, but none will be spared.”
- “Other than that, the story is as you expect and you probably want this for the cute characters or drawings.”

The game features a significant emphasis on grinding, particularly for leveling and min-maxing, which can detract from the story experience. While players can progress through the main narrative without extensive grinding, those who enjoy first-person dungeon crawlers should be prepared for a considerable amount of grinding, especially in the end game. Strategies like focusing on tank characters and utilizing double XP bonuses can help alleviate some of the grind, but many players find it repetitive and time-consuming.
- “I haven't been able to play it recently because the game is heavily focused on grinding and leveling/min-maxing in the end game.”
- “You will spend so much time grinding in the dungeons that you will forget the story.”
- “So, if you are getting this for fan service, you will get it, but it takes a lot of grinding, and you will get bored of it as you have to grind more to move on.”
