The combat system is completely fucked. I got into a fun groove playing as Velvet or Eisen and frequently using their R2 abilities, but its a mindless button masher at its core, with way too many visual effects and shouting to tell whats going on.

The equipment system is a huge chore with the need to spend a lot of time after every few dungeons going through all your equipment and deciding which to keep and which to turn into materials. Which ended up being a big waste of time since you can only fully upgrade like 3 items by the time you finish the game. And you get like 10 new pieces of equipment after each battle (if you bring two overworld enemies close together).

I really liked the game though, mainly because of the story and exploring the environments (even though Velvet is a huge edge lord). Magilou is more annoying than not and Laphicet is an annoying innocent child trope, but I guess that comes with the territory in JRPGs. The ending goes completely off the rails like every other JRPG ever made.

I guess Is should say something positive, since I truly did enjoy the game. The character interactions are the best Ive seen in a video game. Theres some really interesting depth to how the characters relate to each other. Like how Velvet is jealous of Eleanor forming a connection to her surrogate younger brother (Laphicet). Or Eizen and Rokurou taking on big brother roles to Laphicet and trying to teach him how a non-robotic person acts.

Honestly I kinda prefer the team symphonia combat system which culminated in vesperia's style that I enjoyed. If it wasn't for Velvet's demon claw I probably would have hated the combat system because the whole 4-hit combo and 16 possible move combinations is more annoying than anything else.

It especially sucks for mage casters since I don't know which spells to have them set to. I'm used to the old games of knowing that I should always have Eruption and Indignation turn on and all other spells off since they're the best but I wasn't familiar with the new spells.

Again not a big deal since there's different difficulty levels but it woulda been nice.

Oh and yeah the equipment system is a huge chore, they need to fix it. It was overly expensive and getting the right ingredients was tedious since they can't be purchased and they're needed if I want higher BG and SG.

The characters are the best part, I love how adorable Laphicet is, and Magilou is a 10/10 character.
