This was way more compelling when I was playing it on my japanese phone vpn prior to the English release, understanding maybe 40% of the (dreary and predictable, it turns out) fable anthology storytelling, trying to fill in the blanks with my own sense of mystique and ambiguity, and enjoying the zoned out uninvolved music visualizer combat with the relief of not being able to monetarily invest in the gacha elements at all. Well now I played it w the full glory of intelligible language context and yeah it's kind of an insult on all accounts!!

love the idea of the jrpg goth western visual touches this occasionally hints at tho, and some of the character art and music still soothes me despite not surprising. Bummer those are wrapped in a predatory piece of shit mostly just spinning its own wheels
