My girlfriend really really likes it, and has been trying to get me to at first play it fresh, then play it through with a New Game+ save she made for me, then finally just watch an LP of it...and I can't stomach it. I know I'm kind of walking into the lion's den, so I'm not going to just senselessly bash the game - I'm being completely honest when I say that I can't find a single redeemable thing about it.The combat system doesn't even tell you the amount of damage you're going to do, completely preventing you from planning anything (something that's kind of critical with the also completely random bonuses), the story has not managed to draw me in in the slightest after seven hours of gameplay, and the characters...god, again, I don't want to slam the game. But Estelle is actually the densest, most unlikable protagonist I've ever met. Like the big reveal on the clocktower, when she was talking to Joshua about her mom:J: Hey...it'll be okay. I promise you that I'll be here, your mom'll be here, and soon enough Dad'll be back here, too. But in the meantime, if you need a shoulder to cry on, I'm here for you.E: ...E: ...pfffft, oh, Joshua, you're trying too hard! If I wasn't your sister, I'd honestly have gotten the wrong intentions about what you were trying to do there...gosh, you're seriously going to have romance trouble later on, huh?If I was in Joshua's position I would be in tears! He friggin' laid his heart out on the table trying to comfort his damn sister, however much of a stepsister she may be, and she just laughed at him for it - that's a recipe for me getting seriously pissed at whoever just said that.I want to enjoy it, I really really do.But I can't stomach Estelle, and while yeah she may improve, the rest of the story and gameplay isn't enough to carry me through that point.Am I doing something wrong...? via /r/Falcom https://ift.tt/2qwbUFD
