There is some nice presentation, and the soundtrack has some bangers, but damn this isn't it.

A setting/narrative far less interesting than that original. Paired with a spin on the 'Press Turn Battle System' that is wildly less engaging than any other I've played. I just can't get through it.

I already tried to play this game near launch, and only came back recently after vaguely heard about post-launch improvements.
The "emulator-like" game speed increase in battle and being able to move faster in dungeons, is the smallest band-aid to the much deeper issue that the core of the game, combat and dungeon navigating, are terribly dull.
