i just finished chapter 3 and quite honestly i couldn't give a damn about the story.

they just killed off one of the only tolerable characters in a cliche sacrifice scene and now i'm being forced through a literal filler arc


this game is basically all the worst shounen anime cliches rolled into one and i kind of hate it

That "filler arc" was supposed to show off Rex's potential to replace Vandham as a guild leader. The thing is, there are a lot of subtleties in the earlier cutscenes. But it only really comes into play when you actually realize the true goal of the journey. If you only look at the surface and not look out for things, yeah you might think it's just a shounen plot.

I'll just say, it gets pretty existential later on

i really doubt it, the game is poorly written through and through so far

Well you're wrong. There's a reason why Pyra was so willing to give up half her life force, why she says what she says about the journey. Rex's naivete is constantly put on court, too. And in the end, you're made aware that nobody in the party is satisfied by the end. And the their pilgrimage constantly makes different turns. It's better writing than what you'd find in most video games for the last few years.

And you're on freaking chapter 3 where they're just done introducing most of the long staying characters. You don't even know anything about them lol. You know what's funny? You're never gonna enjoy this story because you already decided you're gonna hate it before seemingly you started even playing. That's what a lot of people did, and they say literally wrong shit on various boards, and I have to point out the exact cutscene where they say something that proves them wrong. When you're playing something on a negative mindset, you won't enjoy it. Just stop playing the game.
