Don't think of this as a review, I just need to complain.
I'm still very early in the game, so I'm gonna try to push through and get a bit further before I fully pass judgement, but man this game is slow compared to Dragon Quest. Starting out with a party of 4 fighting up to 6 enemies at a time would already make encounters take way too long, but then on top of that like half of your attacks miss, your party won't be doing any damage if they aren't fighters, and every encounter gives hardly any XP despite needing 10 times more to level up than Dragon Quest. This is a technical improvement on that game in almost every way, but I feel like the gameplay just isn't there to back it up. Gonna keep going though, just wanted to get this out there in case either I end up hating the game and feel vindicated or end up liking the game and can look back on this and say "wow what an idiot I was".
