“The dialogue and characters are well-written, and the story is very straightforward.”

Players generally find the grinding in the game to be enjoyable and well-balanced, especially after the initial stages.

The absence of grinding for stats, as players gain them through character interactions, adds to the overall positive experience.

“-balanced is harder to do vs a more specialized one and requires a bit more grinding for materials.”
“Getting magic items is a must and gathering ingredients for food to get the extra buffs never felt tedious, and it may just be the way I was playing but I always had an abundance of skill points to max out all my skills with.”
