I didn't ask for an auto-runner.

Does Mario not breathe?

Gameplay is better than Persona 3.

Exploring the vast open world of Alrest is like nothing I've ever experienced before. While the game features a complex and and somewhat tedious battle system, the story never stopped delivering. A cavalcade of amazing vistas, characters, emotional moments, music, and overall passion.
The time I spent on this game is something I feel likely won't be matched for some time. A game that truly never lost my interest the entire way through. I wish I could fill pages out about how much I loved this game but I kinda suck at that.
In the end, definitive masterpiece. One of the best games I ever had the pleasure of playing.
