Sorry, I dont have time to listen to all these million dialogs
I've never seen anyone else mention this but this game gave me so much fatigue
The problem isn't the amount of dialogue. VNs are one of my favorite genre. The problem is that EVERYTHING in this game warrants 15 minutes of dialogue about pointless stuff I don't want to care about. It's overwhelming.
Like, sometimes I'd boot the game and find myself in a town, my objective is to speak to a certain NPC. In the process of reaching that NPC, talking to them and leaving the town there went 2 hours of playtime during which I heard the problems of every single person there, picked up several quests, failed some because I chose the "wrong" option, heard new lore from my companions and made some like me more and others hate me, and so on, all the while the only thing I wanted was to get to the damn NPC and progress a specific quest.
And then there's how every dialogue gives you several choices, and the game is not clear about how each choice will impact your journey. You never know what choice will lock you out of something, so you have to tryhard decisions every 3 minutes out of fear of missing something, sometimes you have to google it, it's so exhausting
Let's not even get into combat. Unless you are playing on the easiest difficulty every fight is extremely stressful and requires a lot of preparation
It's an exhausting game
