The story aspect of the game is perceived as somewhat restrictive, with players feeling pressured to prioritize leveling up and completing quests quickly rather than enjoying the narrative. The lack of deadlines for quests allows for a more relaxed approach, enabling players to focus on crafting and character development, but this can lead to a sense of monotony in gameplay. Overall, while the story offers opportunities for exploration, it can feel overshadowed by the need for efficiency and power progression.
“I never have time to dedicate to the quests I like; I can never be at ease because I always feel the pressure to be as strong as possible in the shortest time, all while juggling alchemy.”
“In the second case... do all the possible quests since there are no deadlines. Complete all quests for the first year, and you'll reach level 22 easily without changing your party. The final mission will be a joke if everyone is at the same level, and it will also give you at least 2 months to craft very powerful weapons (with this girl, just use weapons; she's not a great fighter).”
