A shame the story is meh as they've done decent enough stories, if not amazingly innovative, in their gacha's

My friend got a review copy and beated the game. The story at the third act really picks up and recontextualizes all the mystery in the game (they're trying very hard to pull a Nier Automata), but he did say that it does fall flat because the characters never get any better and falls into the typical clicheds you see in this type of genre. He still liked the game (he gave it a 8/10) but only because the combat is super solid.
DI MOLTO!
