This just shows journos are just hype machines and little more. The game has massive issues
>currency system is fucked
Partially because the shard and rosary costs are too high.
However, the BIG issue is there is zero incentive to earn these through normal progression, and it's infinitely more efficient to just spend a bit of time powerfarming and then be absolutely loaded with shard bags and rosary necklaces. 10 minutes of farming will give you the same reward as like 4 hours of progression, and then it's actually more efficient to just ignore most enemies as they don't offer you anything.
>lack of combat rewards make exploration underwhelming
The crest system is really underfleshed. You just stick to the best one and never swap it out, especially so because of the way the memory upgrades work that you never even want to experiment with an unupgraded crest. You basically just choose the best crest, upgrade it, and ignore everything else.
Same with charms/tools, you only have 1-2 slots per type, so you just stick with the best ones. You may occasionally swap one out for one boss/section, but 95% of the time, I'm using my strongest charms and the others are pointless.
Same for the pittance of shards/rosaries for exploration/quests, WAY more efficient to just powerfarm and then ignore this crap.
Some other issues:
>the low HP vignette effect is way too obtrusive when you need to lock in most
>pause on parry is more than a bit excessive
>enemies should drop quest items before you start the quest. There's no reason you need to accept quest and talk to a guy before birds start dropping... feathers, or for purple pollips to appear at all
>the map gets just way too huge; it's like 5x the size of Super Metroid. In Act 1 it's fine, but by endgame, it's just too much to mentally process and remember and blurs together
>over-reliance on tanky and flying mobs. Due to how long they take to kill, it's best to ignore them whenever possible
It's like a 7/10
