I don't use the Scholar passive very often. I should, since I'm overleveled I guess, but at the same time I'm trying to pile up the JP.

This game has meat on the bones. It is kind of high honestly, but there are a few things to consider that make it a bit understandable. 1. They built an entirely new engine just to make this game. 2. They have a decent amount of voice acting (VAs are the most expensive part of any game that uses them) especially if you want quality voice acting. 3. The game is pretty well polished with very few bugs. A lot must have been spent on QA. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv ...

I was rather surprised by how much major dialogue they didn't dub. 3. Bugs are much easier to avoid with a premade engine, and turn based battle in general.

1. ...Unreal Engine 4 is a premade engine they paid money to use. Sorry, not an entirely new engine. A heavily modified version. For something like $2 million dollars Epic gives you the source code for the engine and then you can fuck around with the engine however you want to suit your needs. This sort of thing is generally only done by huge publishers. Duke Nukem Forever did this with Unreal Engine 2 and modified it so much that it was basically almost as good as Unreal Engine 3 and that's one of the reasons why the fucking thing was stuck in development hell for so long. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv ...

What I don't like:
-Pacing is kind of poor in regards to doing all eight chapter 1s -Levelling seems a little fucked because of the above -Eight characters but two of each have very similar path actions which discourages pairing them -They don't seem to interact much -And you can't switch people out or have two separate parties going because the person you chose first happens to be 'the protagonist' even though I see no gameplay difference with that, I seriously do not understand that choice. It's fucking stupid. Combat is fun Inquire is fun but overall side quests feel a little thrown in Tbh the games combat is what's keeping me in right now (and sinking $60), hopefully it picks up at chapter 2s --- ...

What I don't like: Interaction starts to occur a little more in the form of travel banter once you start doing Chapter 2s. Depending on who is in your party, each character will have a little skit where they talk with whomever the Chapter 2 is currently about. An example would be Tressa asking Primrose a question about dancing after a story cutscene in her Chapter 2. Supposedly, once you start completing Chapter 4s, then the skits open to having multiple party members in them such a skit with all the guys participating in a contest of sorts but I haven't made it to that point myself. --- ...

Yeah, I'm searching for the right words but can't quite find them. I guess what I mean is that the way the game has been promoted, the way it's been described, how much story progress I felt I made in the short demo I played... I had the wrong initial impression of how much content would be in this game and how high-quality my time with it would be. I was expecting something shorter, something to burn a little time between big game releases. Instead, it's one of the best games I've played this year. --- BKSheikah owned me so thoroughly in the 2017 guru contest, I'd swear he used the Lens of Truth to pick his bracket.

But if you recruit a character in a city then all your rep gets refilled so you should steal/allure/etc as much as possible before you do a chapter then you refill without paying money.
