This game should been left in the oven a bit more, it felt rushed for sure,

The combat is flawed in the sense where your partner for the most part will not take any damage unless you use the defend action during their turn, while yes you can switch the partner to be in front, you will lose your action with the MC and if you use an attack with the partner they will not stay in front making the whole point of switching pointless, not only you lose on an action with the MC the sole reason to switch which is usually make the partner take some of the damage instead of MC. Then we have some of the status effects where they effect the enemies attack speed by making it either slower or faster, it's the most useless effects I ever seen and its more detrimental since it can throw your block timing off.

The Story didn't stick out, it felt short and rushed specially at end.
The music and the areas are nice at least.
