An Exercise in apathy, neither solid nor liquid. Not exactly bad, but not very good either. Just a bit 'meh,' really.

The story of the game is generally perceived as shallow and unengaging, often described as a typical JRPG plot involving friendship and dungeon crawling. While some players appreciate the character development and humor, many agree that the narrative does not drive the gameplay, with a few noting that it lacks the depth of more renowned titles like Final Fantasy. Overall, the story serves as a backdrop to the fun gameplay rather than a compelling reason to continue playing.
“This is an absolutely stunning JRPG game filled with fun gameplay, a captivating storyline, beautiful artwork, great soundtrack, and more.”

“The story isn't engaging.”
“Story-wise, I didn't even waste a second trying to grasp where this is going.”
“It's your typical 'group-of-friendship-is-magic-high-school-girls-doing-dungeon-crawler-stuff-beating-bad-people-saving-the-world' kind of JRPG experience, so let's be real, the story is not the main point in this game.”

Despite these criticisms, the gameplay remains a highlight, overshadowing the graphical limitations for many players.

Grinding in this game is described as time-consuming and tedious, yet it offers a rewarding experience with significant unlockables and character development. While it may take some getting used to, players find that the grinding is manageable compared to other titles, especially with the aid of features like the bulletin board for gardening. The game balances its difficulty with a steady increase, making grinding essential for a smoother gameplay experience, particularly in preparation for challenging postgame content.
“It's very time consuming and tedious.”
“Inventory management is pretty tedious; there is no efficient way of transferring multiple items between purses and lockers.”
“There is plenty of content to justify the full price; a long 50+ hour story if you plan on doing any grinding via gardening and synthesizing, 3 extremely punishing postgame dungeons, and lots of challenges in the form of character-specific dungeons and trials.”
