The Archetype mechanic is kind of lackluster and for a game about forging bonds, the characters just are so flat and boring. They are (again) your typical anime cutouts.
>"Look at me, I am the headstrong noble from the countryside and you get my boring backstory in the first hour of the game"
>"Look at me, I am an autistic elf girl and I just love the royal family, even though they did nothing to fix the arguably fucked up state of the world."
Even worse, you just KNOW the latter will never really have her beliefs challenged. Except maybe by a shitty villain speech, in which she goes "M-masaka" and then the whole thing will be resolved by the protagonist saying any variation of "You got to believe in yourself!". Speaking of, the villain just seems to do heinous shit for the sake of doing heinous shit.
