Not much to say here other than that this is quite easily the least inspiring of the trilogy and a completely mediocre at best experience. The mild intrigue and decent character exposition of the other two (Forsaken Maiden & The Isle Dragon Roars) is completely gone in favor of a forgettable party with a lack of motivation to care for any of them. The music and enemy/character design is on the contrary beautiful once again, but it's not enough to make up for the issues this game has. Beasts of Burden has a poor plot, bad pacing, an extremely bad random encounter rate, pointlessly long dungeons, and a horrendously long final boss encounter that is more an item check then an evaluation of player skill. Even as a fan of Yoko Taro and the other two games I'm almost regretful to have played this as it functioned solely as a use of time rather than a memorable experience. I assume there's a true ending, but I am genuinely uninterested in looking for that.

I would only maybe recommend this if you've played the other two games in the series and are trying to complete the trilogy, otherwise this game should be a miss.
