I would have loved that game if it didn't assume that the player was a complete idiot who had to get the same information ten times in a row in 30 minutes of generic dialogue, just to play 30 minutes of boring tutorials and then another 30 minutes of pointless dialogue.

It's a long game that doesn't need to be. I like the "social sim" aspect of it, and even if I'm not into turn based combat it felt really good, but I just can't stand hours of pointless dialogue and neverending tutorials. I mean, I'm 20/30 hours into the game and you really need to spend this much time introducing mechanics that are just evolutions of preexisting mechanics?

But this is a problem I have with every JRPG. They all seem cool before playing them, but when I do they feel to me like extremely bloated games. I'd love a nice straightforward 20 hours JRPG
