story
4 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story is straightforward and driven mainly by entertaining characters, with a recurring theme of the party being sidetracked by helping others. Many party members have loose ties to the main plot, and some main story dungeons feel lengthy enough that they might have worked better as optional sidequests. Overall, the plot doesn’t aim for deep complexity but focuses on being fun and engaging.
“The plot is fairly simple and carried by fun characters. It's a lot of 'party gets sidetracked by people asking them for help before they can proceed.' Many party members aren't deeply integrated into the main plot, but the story doesn't need to be super deep; it just needs to be fun enough.”
“Some of the main story dungeons could have been split off as optional sidequests, considering how long some main story areas are, especially late game where each part of the quest involves visiting two areas with over ten screens.”
“In the late game, the quest involves visiting multiple large areas, which sometimes feels lengthy, suggesting that some main story dungeons might have worked better as optional sidequests.”
