Maybe would have felt less boring and dumb if I hadn't played it right after IV but damn, this felt like work. Three "chapters" in and I'm just not enjoying it at all. I turned on auto-battle and I fast-foward the rom to speed up cutscenes (why does every couple word sentence have to remain on the screen for five full seconds before you can advance?) and it still feels like a waste of time. Calling it quits, watching the rest of the story as highlights on YouTube so I at least know what happened.
