This game is so fucking long, I'm almost 80 hours in and it feels like almost nothing of substance has occurred.
The plot is shallow as hell and half of the arcs feel like they exist to fill time between the start and the end of the game. The characters don't get developed after their introductory scenes. Even the social links feel less like watching character development occur and more like watching Joker singlehandedly save someone from their personal problems with his metaverse powers and silent protagonist charm. In a shorter game the style this game oozes would be enough to make up for how shallow it all is but after long enough the charm wears off and it just feels empty.
The combat isn't engaging to me. It's all pathetically easy, the game even goes as far as to give you multiple autopilot buttons, one that fast forwards with physical attacks and another that just picks the weakness targeting moves for you.
