I started Lost Sphear as a filler game in between big releases, so I went in with minimal expectations. I've read a lot of praise for I Am Setsuna, so I figured the developer's next game might be good. To make a long story short, I was bored out of my mind the entire time. I ended up putting it on hold 30% of the way through, only picking it back up 2 months later since I wanted to complete it out of obligation. The combat is fine, creative even, but that's about the only praise I can give it. The story is mediocre, the pacing is awful, the characters are forgettable, and it just ends up dragging on and on. It's the epitome of a "mid" JRPG.
