He's mentioned like two times outside of the recap books and both just speak of him as a matter-of-fact way.

I 100%ed it late last year and while I won't say it's beyond terrible I will absolutely say it's mired with issues across the board. I actually do have a bunch of notes I took playing it if you want things that are more in-depth but the general issues are:
>It's got three points of no returns meaning if you do not guide game it it's impossible to have all the Djinn and quite a lot of permanently missable equipment.
>It's easier than even GS. Dullahan is so easy that as long as you know his moveset it's not possible to die to him compared to TLA, especially TLA Hard Mode.
>Most of the dungeons are alright but nothing as fun as in GS or TLA.
>Matthew is just GS1 Isaac, Tyrell is Garet if he acted like a five year old who was never taught to share all game, Karis is R63 Ivan, Rief is R63 Mia but way more nerdy, Amiti is pretty much just younger Piers, Sveta is furry Sheba, Eoleo is the only actual interesting character in the game, and Himi only exists to give you a useless second Venus Psynergy user.
>They pretend you don't know who Alex is for like 80% of the game, make it a reveal on who he is, and he doesn't really act like he did in GS or TLA anymore.
>Crafting requires you to climb multiple slow steps and ladders back and forth and it's agonizingly slow to reroll but there's like seven crafting types.
>That comic about everyone having to make comments on stuff Katy did is 1:1 how most conversations go in DD with multiple characters doing nothing but reaction shots, and once you get to the point where you have Himi it's all anyone does from them on with no substance to any dialogue.
>The game ends on a cliffhanger. You return to the ruins of Vale and there's a Psynergy Well about to overtake it.
>Dark and Light Psynergy is introduced literally at the tail end of the game.
