Just beat this. What did I think of it /v/?

I liked it way back when it came out. Protagonist is soulful

great story, fun characters, kino ending, worst combat of any jrpg on earth

You thought it was hot when Saeko and Eri used the night queen taunt move and called the enemies "shrimp dick"

I'm gonna be honest with you chief, they weren't even active members when I was using the Night Queen job. I legit swapped them back to Clerk and Idol as soon as they hit Lvl 16 and learned that fire Candle move. I was gonna go for the platinum but I just can't be assed to grind 4 chars to 99 as well as all their jobs to 90+. Fuck that. I did do all the side content though.

I tried playing it last fall. I think I got about 15 hours in, but the combat and "dungeons" were just such a slog. Doesn't really make sense why certain enemies are weak to certain attacks, so you just have to figure that out by trial and error. They're also pretty spongy and take forever to defeat. Then you have to be in a dungeon without saving for over an hour. As much as I loved pretty much everything else about the game, I just couldn't endure that.

combat is hot dogshit. genuinely the worst tb combat ive ever played. also the business minigame is fucking terrible. just actively antifun to interact with it at all.

i liked the characters and story seemed interesting. i stopped playing after you get nanba back.

It was honestly fine. For the most part you're never really in any jeopardy. I will say, I hate how they randomly spike the difficulty in Chapter 12 I think it was. I had grinded all 30 floors of the battle arena prior to moving on with the story and even at 47-48, I still got my shit pushed in. And even after grinding to the point of being Lvl 55, I still had to cheese that boss fight because the AI just goes ape shit on you. That and the cheesy ass boss fight in Chapter 14 almost made me quit. Outside of those 2 moments though, I thought the combat and dungeons were fine. I enjoyed all the side content and mini games too, besides Virtua Fighter which was just PURE BULLSHIT. I've heard people complain about Kart Racing too but I managed to win every single race first try. Also enjoyed the movie theater mini game too. I found out about golf way too late as I already had maxed stats and I never got to chance to play baseball either but I did everything else.

The business mini game was the easiest fucking thing in the game. And it was literally free money. Just autocare the employees and then slap the shit outta the investors in the shareholder meetings. I think by the time I reached #1 I had around 35 million. It's literally just rock, paper, scissors.

i didnt say it was hard, i said it was antifun. as in, it depressed me to play it.

it was also needlessly complicated. i cant tell if they made the minigame too easy, so they bloated the systems and halfassed the tutorial to obfuscate difficulty into it, or if the complications came first and they just said fuck it, make it braindead.

I enjoyed it when it came out. I wouldn't play it again and haven't played the sequel as I heard it's mid

Gameplay and QOL wise, it's a lot better.
If you're in it for the story, then that's something you might be in odds with.

You loved the story and the characters and despite some of the jank, the combat was fun and is by no means the worst thing in the World.
It was also the best game of 2020 by far

I'll probably play it when it comes to Gamepass but I'm not in a rush to play it.
