I just can't do it anymore. I'm 12 hours in. Just met the beast mask tribe to ask about the powers of the nethacite stone. Larsa showed up and we're going somewhere.
When the fuck does this game get good? It's just incredibly boring so far. Half the cast doesn't even care about what the fuck is happening. Balthier is constantly dismissive of everything. Vaan, Penelo and Fran aren't related to what's happening at all. Basch doesn't seem to evolve beyond the "i'll defend my homeland" mentality. The only character that seems well written so far is Ashe who actually has to face dilemmas and make decisions.
It doesn't get better, that's the whole game. You're never given real context for anything and you're never given any reason to care about the characters or their motivations. Fans try to play this off as the story being too subtle for plebs but the truth is the game is a dry toast sandwich with a glass of nothing.
