So this was pretty mediocre. Gameplay was legitimately great, but the story, (most of) the characters, and everything else ranged from aggressively alright to absurdly bad. Might have worked better if this game leaned into a super campy and absurdist angle rather than trying to mix light fantasy fun with drama and seriousness that hit like a wet noodle. For what people describe as like a Saturday morning cartoon affair, this game felt weirdly corporatized with its writing and tone.
Also the somniel feels like a huge overcorrection from the monastery, felt like I was playing a mobile game with these Pokémon scarlet and violet ass minigames. The supports here weren’t too bad but I don’t think it would have hurt to cut the roster down by half or 75%, and actually have an interesting or at least non repetitive villain squad.
Still got another character I'll be obsessed with for awhile, so the 100 hours weren't all that bad I guess. Mauvier, my beloved.
(The 3D modeling in this game terrifies me. Please just go back to the portraits or give more budget to the 3D modeling)
