I just reached Corel and god damn this game is a boring mess. No one has anything interesting to say, the plot barely moves, the actual dialogue is the most poorly-written shounen tier shit I've heard in my life and the fucking stagger combat is worse than anything other RPG combat I've ever played. Have I been tricked into playing this game over the world's sadest swim suits or is the rest of the game fanatastic?
I'm considering dropping it and getting a refund.

I don't care if you spoil it, at this rate I'm not buying the third entry anyway.
