About the storyline
The beginning of the story is great, i thought it's going to be a solemn and epic story. But as i progress the main plot, it gradually becoming a family farce to me, Gustave's death is meaningless, he could just jump off the cliff and run but instead he choose to fight, then Verso shows up, and somehow gain the trust of everyone. That's where the story becomes increasingly confusing and dramatic for me. Then it turns out we lives in a fictional world, everyone's death suddenly feels so meaningless when Maelle could revives anyone she wanted to, Then i have to watch the whole family arguing with jibberish, it just feels so out of place and a little painful to watch tbh.Anyway that's just my opinion, what do you think about the story?

The end of Act 1 killed the vibe for me pretty hard. But I'll keep going and see what happens I guess.
Gustave dying was the trigger to releasing Maelle's paintress powers which let her be able to continue to break the cycle eventually. The whole story line was super depressing but in a good way. It really made you feel like the writers were putting in some of their personal life issues to make it feel more.

What's crazy is, the entire story was written by three people in the credits screen. Mind blowing to see three people made up this incredible story.

Does feel like the end of act 1 was a misplay.

Overhyped cash waste IMHO.

It's one of those games that lures you in with interesting concept that remains a concept leading into a trainwreck of a story.

Majority of positive reviews are so far at best 4-6 hour reviews... which is the limit of attention span of at least ¬50% of playerbase.
The further it goes - the worse the ratings get which is the 'real' rating you want.

If we compare it to modern trash - it's a solid RPG. Not JRPG btw, more of a western one.
If we compare it to similar classics like Lost Odyssey and Shadow Hearts - this one is a disappointment in the long run.
