I gave it a try, but having such a slow burn intro (game still hasnt felt like it started at hour 5) without having the plot, characters or setting to back it up. The game just feels soulless, and the farming mechanics are more a formality to give the game a gimmick, because dungeon crawling is an all day affair, and theres no customization or real reason to want to waste time farming.

To the games credit, it looks pretty good on Switch, the soundtrack is great and farming mechanics are simple and avoid being tedious. But an RPG with such a bland plot is meaningless. I have no desire to see the class mechanics when there's still tons of great JRPGs for me to play.

*To elaborate, tilling soil and watering crops is way less tedious than Rune Factory or even Stardew, because its not trying to be time consuming.
