>we included levels but levelling up is pointless because enemies rubber band up with you
>sure we included a bunch of spells but you have to slowly collect them from specific places or enemies also if you use them and don't just junction them to your stats you're playing the game wrong just rely on summoning GFs many of which have an animation that takes 30+ seconds to play out needlessly prolonging every fight
>we included a fun card game but if you play it a bunch of unfun stupid rules get forced on you against your will
>sure you can explore the whole world with an airship but only at the very very end of the third disc until then it's a linear rush from place to place
