The story was so barebone it hardly motivate me to grind through all the daily farming and basic ARPG combat after 20 hours of playing (1/3 of the playthrough). I loved RF3 many years ago but perhaps I have outgrown this kind of farming sim. It could have been my favourite game if I were to play it 20 years ago. But now it just feel like a mobile gacha game with more intensive grinding and chores. I felt exhausted. Maybe RF3 was really just better than this sequel, but it was too many years ago so I can't really judge.
