5th party member story spoilers i am one again very confused. so the narrator's room was in the water tower? or no? we try to open the door, we fail, then narrator says "they failed and died" but we jump to a parallel universe where they... instead went to an ice mountain? where is the ice mountain? how did they get there? then when they're done they're in the narrator's room and they are a bit confused but mostly just go along with it... ok? the whole sequence felt incredibly jarring to me.

i hope the takeaway from this game isn't "few skills bad, more skills better" but i worry that's what it will be. lots of games have a ton of skills and 80% of them are useless or just an excuse to have more buttons for the sake of it. having fewer skills but making you use them in lots of different ways is good design. this game just kinda doesn't do that because the combat isn't very dynamic.

i don't wanna be too negative on this game though because i'm still enjoying it and it is very pretty. the odd thing is we've all played JRPGs with poor characterization (see: most things made 20 years ago) but i guess the bar is just higher these days so it really stands out.
