negative :
too long. got bored more than a few times. 56h when I would have preferred 30-40 max.
what does aptitude do? agility? not explained... can't do much a character build if they don't explain anything.
menus are messy
hard to see what spells enemies are under (positive or negative)
combats are repetitive. fortunately you can speed it up and you can also let the computer do the fight for you, which seems like a good thing since 75% of fights are boring... but that doesn't fix the original problem: uninteresting fights !
2D missions (in the 2d town) are plain annoying with sometimes too many slow fights every 5-10 steps... for nothing. oh god that's the most boring part of the game.
-get ready for a shitload of items... (is it so difficult to separate ingredient/material for forging and stuff you can consume?)
positive:
-had some good moments
-the game becomes nice when you stop exploring by your own and just follow the quest. (exploration is just a waste of time in this game)
-i like the forge thing
-i think i saw more positive things in the game at the beginning. (now I just think it was too long.)
I would give a 15/20 but it's either 7 or 8/10. so let's say 8.
