been playing since release and been an on and off player tbh but it'll always be a game thats near and dear to me

this game was so ASS im still so angry even in 2024 that they closed OG bf beta for this crap

all my friends love it but i genuinely cant find myself enjoying the game

id give this 0 stars if i could. wrote a lengthy review on steam about how much i hated this game.
what prompted the review was the potential i had seen in the game pre-release and the potential i /SAW/ in the UI and more game dev related aspect of the game since the writing was so slimy it made me uncomfortable despite the game being sfw. it was also very cringe.

the fields are calling and theyre telling me to marry sebastian

god knows how many hours i put into the og game as a kid when i played w my sister

was fun and the writing was somewhat compelling until Inazuma released and they took the puzzles to a point where they were no longer fun to figure out and became unnecessarily convoluted.
cons: no plans to do any QoL updates, no skip buttons for the boring event stories and MSQ that only seem to focus on same-faced NPCs every new region we get to, underwhelming if not outright embarrassing anniversary rewards and lack of consideration for a global fanbase that they are aware they have (when in reality they mostly cater to their Chinese and Japanese playerbase). and i could go on!!
pros: elemental reaction mechanic was really fun and when dendro was finally added i decided to play again for a while
(i started playing maybe a week after release in 2020)

i love making little guys in this game altho it gets old fast (i did fixate on this game for a whole week tho so fjhdskf)

i never managed to finish it bc im sooooo sucks at video game but i eventually want to bc its seriously one of my favorite games. might be the nostalgia talking tho...

i see so many people saying this could've been so much more and i can't help but agree.
i love this game but it's hard to go back to because of the gameplay mechanics.
art is 10000000/10 to me tho

oddly enough this game was a lot of fun LMAOSDFKJHSDKHSDKLF
5 stars for nostalgia's sake <3
