Fair enough, there's a few dialog-heavy segments like the Pulse Hypno, which might turn off some people (the same could be said about the puzzles)

There's like 2 characters that actually want to die: Corey (which... you know) and Amaria and even that could be debated (maybe 4 if we count Titania and maybe Kiki..?) While the rest of the cast is either pretty nihilistic yet still functional individuals to some extend (Titania comes to mind) or broken yet trying to move forward despite their issues (Cain and Cal are my best example) then there's a few outliers like Julia and/or Terra which are more light-hearted and mostly played up for comedic effect.
Granted, a lot of the cast ends up talking in a sorta philosophical way/delving into moral questions (Amaria, Titania, Radomus, Luna, and later on Bennet and Sapphira to some extend)
I can see how that might get old to what I'm generously going to assume is the average Rom-Hack/Fan-game consumer, which is only here for the battles.
Personally, I like it. It's not perfect, and it's certainly not Chrono Trigger or idk Final Fantasy 6/7 Tier writing, but I'm enjoying the experience so far.
>TL;DR
It's an OK game, and honestly, it could have been WAY worse (in terms of gameplay and/or plot)
