Lots of cool stuff incoming shown in that Nintendo Direct.
Really curious about
It looks really good, but mechanics can always be a downer.
Like for
released recently, which I really, really disliked... too many characters and plot points thrown at you, but that would have been minor if the combat was enjoyable.
I'm greatly saddened that a lot of "modern" JRPGs like this see that random encounters are annoying... so they're visible, and you can't avoid them.
Having the simplistic combat mechanics like spamming Attack is replaced... by spamming buffs+debuffs+burst on every fight. So it's just as simplistic, but FAR longer despite being in no threat to die on regular encounters.
Grinding for levels is not a thing because you only get "level ups" with story beats... but you still grind an inane amount of battles to upgrade your skills (and also, level ups get you pretty meaningless upgrades like +10% DEF with only three skills slots so most are wasted, and the normal stats up just come from random interval in levels, so it's not rare to get effectively nothing with your level?!).
Man I dropped the game after a few hours because it just slow, boring and irritating to play. Awful progression and combat mechanics.
