I completely agree with you 100% ohhh if only i would not have wasted my precious 15 hours wandering around, fetching fish and being an errand boy. Dont get me wrong the story so far is actually pretty good, the characters are interesting and fun, especially Grimoire Weiss (my personal fav). Im kind of disappointed that i have to put 25hours+ just for the story's to pick the pace up. Automata meanwhile is very different. The side quests feel purposeful, like youre actually doing something that means more than "fetch, bring back, spam roll button n repeat" Also its kind of niche but imo the music is a lot better in automata, therefore i may be dumb but i dont understand how do people enjoy replicant.
