After about 6 hours I feel like this game isn't going to be able to hold my attention. I know that the beginning is slow but this combat feels pretty bad and I kinda doubt it gets much better.
Everything in this game from menuing to attacking to whatever just feels like it's a half second too slow. Maybe I wouldn't be annoyed if everything didn't feel so sluggish and slow but it's really bugging me.
Also in the first areas after you get your hideout there are these soldiers that are blocking your path. But if you get into a random battle standing near them then the zones overlap or something so you end up fighting enemies that are like 10+ levels higher than you. I won the first one and everyone in my party went up 4-5 levels. So I did a few more and now I have this group that is level 30 and everyone else is level 16-17.
That one is my own fault but I'm sure the next 10 hours would be a complete slog being so overleveled.
Also holy shit that army battle was so slow and boring.
Can anyone confirm/deny if the game gets significantly better or is the first 6 hours a good barometer? I'm playing on Gamepass so I can just go play the Crab Soulslike if this is it.
