Dunno if it was cause I played this off the back of Persona 5 Royal changing my life, but this ended up doing nothing for me. God the combat is SO boring, and fights take SO long. Just standing there watching timers. The different classes feel like they make very very little difference to what was going on. After playing Bravely Default 2 a few years ago, with it's fun and inventive job system, XC3 just felt like "You can be a tank with a Green jacket, or a white one?", and that's SHITE.

Was holding on for the story but honestly, it just didn't have enough to keep me going. A shame really.

Still enjoying it a lot here, but can't really argue with you about the combat, feels very passive, massive step back from Torna which was all acitvely flipping characters and plotting combos.

I've turned autobattle on and am acting more as team manager.
Undermined your point by saying "Persona 5 Golden" absolutely fucked it mate.
