The combat itself is the bright spot but the story quickly became a slog for me. The English localization is pretty rough, which isn’t solely an issue because I’m willing to switch VA over to other regions, but the subtitled dialogue also feels off in ways I cant quite explain. The lore dump from hours 1-3 (once you hit the city) is pretty rough and it feels like I haven’t been in a combat scenario in forever.
I’ll probably look up what end game fights look like soon to decide if I’ll continue playing because if the content is difficult enough to keep me interested I’ll probably stick with it. Art direction is gorgeous and the opening sequence has some awesome visuals/frames shots.
Apparently the deal with the VA is that they hired a bunch of really good British VAs and made them do American accents. And you can really tell too… I’m using the CN voice pack and it’s nice. I agree about the subtitles, but it’s not the worst thing in the world.
As for the story, yeah it’s not amazing. But it did pick up a bit, just sucks that the main characters are sooooo boring. There’s some really likeable characters that are actually super interesting like Lingyang but that charm is just not there with the main protags.
Combat is super fun but a lot of the movement is also jank af, I’m gonna keep playing until ZZZ comes out and weigh the pros and cons. Despite all this negative stuff I’m saying, I actually really like the game so far lol
