I absolutely loathe this game.
Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I can explain. The first half was actually done well- it wasn't anything too deep, mind, but it was fun! It had a good combat system, a relatively decent story and overall good design. I enjoyed it, along with the skits adding in a lot of fun additions to the characters.
But when you hit the second half, it takes everything you loved and then attempts to ruin it to hell and beyond. You liked the combat? Too bad, here's a boss that'll be spammed as a regular mob with no real mechanics so it's just a HP spongefest. You liked the story? Too bad! Now we introduce shitty convoluted plotpoints to make everything needlessly worse. You liked the skits? Good! Because you'll hate them with how they'll spam multiple ones per single step with nothing in substance.
It had potential. Every bit I enjoyed from the first half left me with nothing but loathing for the entire game. I can't even recall my good memories of it because of how much I hated the second half. The reason it was reviewed so well by critics is because they didn't reach the second half at all.
Horrible game, save yourself the time.

Fun start to a new journey! I liked how lighthearted it was to start, before going into something deeper. It felt nice to let go for a while though, with our good buddy unemployed Estinien.
I haven't done anything beyond this patch yet, but I did enjoy it! It felt like a good beginning set-up, but I do wish we just had time to just adventure instead of having to deal with the 13th already. Maybe the future patches will prove me wrong.
