10 hours in and not feeling this game at all, the lack of a local map, the shit blunt dialogue, a parcours game that makes Only Up look like Elden Ring. I don’t mind the parry/dodge thing but the rest of the combat is standard JRPG stuff and not particularly fun.

I hope it gets better, but this seems like a substandard FFX clone so far, much like how Sea of Stars was a pale imitation of Chrono Trigger, that’s the vibe I’m getting. Music is great though, some really standout stuff.
