When people say "oh I hate JRPGs" this nonsense is usually the stuff people mean. Bland nothing main characters, sprites that sort of look ok at times but often feel lifeless, cut scenes that go on forever, are made of still images, barely passable voice acting and feature reams of absolutely impenetrable exposition and barely relevant world building.

Then you get grindy slow turn based combat, filled with oodles of menus and systems and stats to match an over designed UI which somehow displays both everything and nothing all at once. Add some later game awkward fanservice consuming and voila, you get an idea factory mess. Utter trash
