there's very little to enjoy, imo

combat is is dull as shit, just spam the same blade combos over and over on a bunch of damage sponge enemies, and unlike the first game movement in combat is stupidly punishing for some reason since you move like fucking molasses in battle

the blade system is gacha fucking garbage that has no place whatsoever in a full-priced single player game. the same goes for that mobile-tier mission table garbage. the field skills are just the absolute worst, they're basically HM's from pokemon except if there were like 30 of them and they varied in skill level. coupled with the utterly horrendous interface i honestly just stopped bothering with the shit because 90% of the time equipping my field skill just wasn't worth the effort for some shit accessory and core.crystal.

the story is just...bad. at its best it's generic shonen tripe, at its worst its embarrassing harem anime garbage. the lead characters (rex and pyra) are particularly terrible, and their voice actors....yikes. the ending to the game is also one of the worst i've seen in recent memory

the side quests are also terrible. the ones in the first game were infamously generic and volume-based, but i actually think they made it worse. the quests in chronicles 1 weren't good, but they at least had you doing things you were already going to be doing. the ones in 2 require you to go out of your way to do things that are just as mundane and tedious. and the worst thing is these never seem to fucking end. i can't count how many times i completed a side quest and went back to turn it in (yes, also something you have to do now) expecting it to complete and get a reward, only for there to be some inane follow-up quest instead. again, i just stopped bothering with the fucking things

oh and the character designs are hands-down the worst in any game i've ever played.

i'd hesitate to call it the worst JRPG i've ever played, but it's definitely the worst one i've played in the last 5 years. at least the music is good
