The story aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players frustrated by bugs that hinder progress and a lack of polish that detracts from the immersive experience expected from a JRPG. While some found the narrative engaging and character development impressive, others felt the plot was disjointed and reminiscent of mobile games rather than a fully realized story. Overall, the game shows potential, particularly in character depth, but suffers from technical issues and a storyline that could benefit from more coherence and length.
