Too soon to tell, but my feeling so far is that 3rd is less than the sum of its parts.

Pretty much every door has been entertaining. And the main plot seems great. But everything is so disconnected and so optional that I'm having somewhat of a hard time to care.

I mean the other two games were also full of detours and optional content but here it feels just heavy handed.

There are all those story events in the doors, but since they are not linked to the main one, there are no stakes. A lot of the time it's two characters just sitting down so one of them can reveal their doubts about life and the other can reassure them. While if this was happening in the present, we'd see those doubts have real consequences, such as the stuff with Agate in the dragon arc.

The Kevin/Ries stuff is the game's high, because it's having real consequences, so I can care about it. But you have to go through a mountain of door filler (as well as monotone dungeon crawling) to get to the next Kevin crumb.
