the game looks pretty, the characters are pretty, and the voice acting is excellent.

but given i drove myself to beat the main story out of spite, i think the game wasn't for me. i couldn't master the combat system, i was annoyed with how the skits were done visually, they overhauled the Party AI for the worse, and i forgot there was even background music. not to mention, the most powerful artes and skill trees are locked behind paid DLC.
i also had the rotten luck of the game just randomly softlocking every 2-3 battles, at the time i played it. i don't know if that issue has been fixed or not.

i wish i could forget i played this game at all, but unfortunately for me, the name Balseph Erwolsey Teldilys will haunt me until the day i crumble to ashes.
