This game brainwashed me into becoming a Kusoge enjoyer.
In all seriousness, play with "weaken enemies" on and don't bother to 100%. If you treat this game like a typical JRPG you'll be sucked into a black void of material grinding and unchanging battles. The combat system is full of annoying benchmarks and despite having the potential for depth and strategy, ultimately bosses come down to stats every time. I beat in about 20 hours with most of my party members in the high 50s, but I could easily see someone playing for 100+ if they really wanted to.
Aside from that, the game is incredibly charming and doesn't overstay its welcome. It doesn't try to do anything crazy, it's just funny, has cool animations, fun references to gaming companies, and a good vibe.
Not a game you could recommend to anyone, but for the right person it's incredibly refreshing and a nice pace breaker.
