It is pretty bad. When I did my series playthrough a few years back it was the only one I didn't finish.

And there are people that say it's their favorite. XD


I like it, but it's not my fav - I'll defend the Junction system, since it's the replacement for grinding... I just stare when people say the game is too easy when you have max spells, like, DERR, you're legit the max level analogue at that point.

But it does have some serious problems. For starters, the tutorials are too long and blatant - we don't need a tutorial on how to open the other tutorials (yes, that's a thing).

There are some quality of life changes that could work. For example, since your party is always at most 3 and any time you can swap parties you can also swap GF - there's no reason for the game to have the swap mechanic at all! Just have the junctions based on party position... there's only one point in the game where this isn't the case, and it's for what is essentially a single boss fight.

Disc 1 is really good. The pacing is right. But that's it. Starting on Disc 2 it's like purgatory with only the ending of Disc 2 being any good. Disc 3 is like limbo ... a timeless blink while you wait for Disc 4 to load...

...

Which makes it worth it again! The final dungeon is really good. One of the better final dungeons in the series.
