The story has been criticized for being boring and lacking depth, with players feeling overwhelmed by the rapid introduction of characters and locations that fail to engage them. Many suggest a slower pacing and a more focused narrative, as well as the inclusion of a journal to help track the lore and character development. While some appreciate the potential for new content in a second playthrough, the overall consensus is that the storytelling needs significant improvement.
“Story was slower paced, and if I remember it right, you even had different dialogue options as well as 3D fights.”
“A journal that sums up your journey and lore about locations and characters would be really helpful to keep track of the story.”
“The second playthrough had at least half new locations and new story.”
“The story is boring and lackluster.”
“I always read the story of every game I play and try to remember it, but I felt like Eterna sends you from one place to another way too fast, while introducing characters, enemies, and locations that get swapped too quickly for you to care about and remember them.”
“Instead of having to travel so much and getting sent out against wild animals, bandits, ghosts, and whatnot, I would have been completely fine with just slaying bandits until level 8 and having the story be simply about that, before you get introduced to more.”
