The story of two orphans with magical powers that get put into an abusive magical training school to fight evil. The become so powerful during their training that the game itself is mind numbingly easy (even with some of the difficulty modifiers called "relics" turned on) and the story is mostly ok to downright awful.
I only got the normal ending (which is horrendous) and would need to finish the Collectathon embedded in the game to get the true ending and I will not do so because the game has shown throughout it's entirety that it's not going to change.
Here is a list of things this game has:
-A youtuber NPC who won't shut up
-Characters with 1 good skill, 1 useful skill, and a skill you never use
-A battle system that is fun but barely has any changes after the first 2 hours of the game
-A battle system so easy my golden retriever could beat this game
-The standard JRPG minigame that absolutely sucks here
-Heavy lack of interesting sidequests to do until the very end
-Puzzles that require 0 thought and mostly just waste your time
-Perhaps one of the worst normal endings to a game I've ever seen
-A really cool and fun storyline in the middle of the game that shows this game could have been much better from a story perspective.
Yet I still found myself playing through essentially the entire game (~35 hours) and thus i am resigned to score it at least somewhat favorably. I know for sure that I will never go back and revisit this game.
