holy shit. coming from 7 and gaiden, i couldn’t have been more excited for this. it’s legitimately one of the worst games i’ve played in a while. awful fucking story that’s beyond ridiculous even for series standards, yet somehow tries to justify it which makes it even MORE STUPID. also the game is ugly as butt, the combat feels so spongy and the difference between one level can change the entire balance of the combat. it’s the grindiest fucking jrpg i’ve played in two years man holy shit i hate everything about this game minus the characters. god damn i fucking can’t, i’m genuinely sooooo upset i was so looking forward to this and i simply hate it.
