I gave this game a shot since I'd heard that people that didn't like the first ended up liking this one. I played the demo of the first but it didn't do much for me.
I really wanted to like this one, but I think I have to put it down after about 25 hrs. I got all the characters. The story and characters aren't doing enough for me to deal with some of the systems I find more tedious than fun. The combat has a ton of options and strategy to it, which is nice, but to the point of feeling overwhelming to me. Random battles can be frequent and don't move that quickly, especially when considering all the options. You have several characters that can recruit NPCs, and I just didn't want to deal with that. That leads me to not feeling like I'm playing optimally. Plus there are a lot of NPCs to interact with and many options in that regard.
There is a multi-class system, but after 25 hours I've only unlocked one extra class. I'd like to see more of this system, but I think I have to let it go. Wish it did more with that earlier.
Just wanted to put my thoughts down somewhere. Glad everyone is enjoying it.
