Players express frustration with the story progression, particularly due to difficulty spikes in missions like the stronghold invasion, which hinder advancement despite efforts to upgrade equipment. Many report feeling stuck due to poor leveling balance and a lack of clear guidance, leading to a sense of overwhelming challenge that detracts from the overall narrative experience. Additionally, issues with class advancement and equipment upgrades contribute to a perception that the story is difficult to navigate and enjoy.
