It's wokeslop and not that good.

i like the battle system and especially the team-up attacks and it's got some flashy menus. but the textures are literally PS2-era in places and so is most of the dungeon design. just most bland, generic stuff and the assets get reused over and over in many dungeons. the areas are light years behind something like FFX. it would have been getting 7.5/10s if released on the PS2.

Plot is wokeslop and has a lot of really dull sections. Times where you watch an hour of cutscenes and nothing of note happens.

I don't get how this became the Absolute State of "AAA" jrpgs.

playing this now and enjoying it very much.

doesn't seem intolerably wokesloppy so far. there are different fantasy races of humanoids and different ones face discrimination, but that has existed in pretty much every fantasy story.

i love atlus games and turn based combat. they're filing the role that the square and the ff7 remakes should have.

Enjoyed it 8.5/10. First half was stronger than the second half. Side dungeons reused a lot of the assets but the overall plot/music/characters were all good.

Do wish they let the player get a more free reign with the archetypes with more viable builds for the end game.

atlus's dungeon designs have always been shit pure shit. it took me a while to get used to the dungeon combat, which is essential because if you get hit first you are fucked while playing hard.

Explain why I played the demo and was then like “anyways, gotta go!” Like why am I such a westerner sometimes? It’s not that I’m repulsed by anime, it’s that weebs see anime and love it no matter what it is, like a child watching cartoons.

you certainly need some weeb tolerance in any atlus game, but it's not as weeby as persona 5.

it's essentially a persona game with more adult themes and in a fantasy setting. if you enjoy persona it's a must buy as it's pretty much a reskin of a persona game.

it makes sense in the context of the game's fantasy world. obviously allegory for kumbaya shit but that's in everything. so far it's not that much more egregious than elves being discriminated against in witcher.

it's a good example of "innovation" leading to worse results. ff7 remake would have done way better if they just reskinned the old game. in fact, it seems like their whole business is reskinning their classic rpgs.

I doubt it would have done any better. JRPGs just don't sell that much anymore unless it is a more contemporary evolution like Dark Souls.
