Game is boring for most of its run, but the finale is good. Almost none of the characters feel properly fleshed out mostly in part due to there being so many characters that they just can't focus on a couple. The gameplay is better in my opinion cause I hate the grid from previous games and I don't mind losing the sepith value system in orbments. A lot of the bosses in the old schoolhouse are complete trash because they will just wipe the floor with you if you don't equip their specific debuff immune accessory to your entire party. In short, this game wishes it was Zero.
