Picked this up on sale.

It's overall pretty fun to go through the story. The music is great. It's enjoyable to run through the one piece story line up til the point the game came out. I love how different each character plays, makes it feel like there's more depth to the game.

Sadly there really isn't much to it. There's distractions everywhere encouraging you to earn tokens elongating your time with the game and spending less time on the fun stuff. The main story is great to run through and the dream log is fine, but once you clear all of that there's so much the game leaves for you to do. Normally this would be great but ultimately you end up repeating the same gameplay loop over and over to an extreme degree and the rewards aren't really anything- basically more stats for your characters you can go and get more stats. I got sucked into this and had to pull myself out- I could definitely play this until it burns me out and enjoy it but it started feeling like a ridiculous time sink.

Probably won't pick up 4 but might be interested in 5 whenever that happens. Despite the frustrations with the progression it's really a decent time until you hit the endless grind.
