I really wanted to try to get into this game. It has the hallmarks of what I normally like, action based combat and an anime aesthetic, but the game shoots itself in the foot right when I try to like it.

It dumps almost every character you will have in your party on you at the same time, so it feels hard to keep track of who's who and remember names. The combat, after 4 hours, doesn't seem like it's going to gain any kind of depth to it, as I am still using the same moves and tactics I used in the first 20 minutes. And the cutscenes all have a "Tales of" approach, with most of them being static images with the characters talking.

Might just be me, but I felt there were a lot of things in the game holding it back from keeping me playing.
