Challenging/interesting combat mechanics for a jrpg?

I could care less about story.

Yeah unfortunately I never played the first :(. Thought about getting it recently but decided to wait for the 2nd.

its great, each encounter is a little puzzle to optimize. also path actions give some fun alternative ways of interacting with town npcs instead of just reading more dialogue

[rosnar]

tbh the combat has been really easy and you get over powererd really fast

Combat is addictive, most of the challenges so far come from the bosses, you can clear mooks in a turn or two.

totally, it's even better than the first game with the addition of unique talent for each character. I'll expect the last boss is like octopath I where you need deep strategy and the battle can last for one hour lol. If you're not into grindy game this might be not the game for you tho since you need to frind xp and jp.

There's a demo on the store page, just in case you didn't see there was one,

Challenging? Not really.
Interesting? Yes.

As much as I hate when people compare everything to Persona, I think it helps to paint a better picture when using it as a comparison. Both games are not really that difficult and the combat encounters are all about finding out and exploiting the weakness of the enemies. It creates for an addicting gameplay loop.

Each character having their own unique mechanic I think adds a whole lot interesting elements to the gameplay. For instance you have Castti who is an Apothecary. They are able to concot spells mid-combat which can be super interesting. Normally these require ingredients, but Castti has a unique ability where once her power gauge is full, she can freely concot anything she wants at no cost.

is gud gameplay

it's "couldn't care less" btw

[Sprocket]

I look forward to each boss.. the trash in between is whatever, whilst bopping to the music :)

Imo the moment you mentioned "Don't Care about story", not much of a point to get this game anyway. you are better off looking for other games or some sort.

first one was too grindy in my opinon. This one improves on the formula. The plots are actually not bad tbh. Well the ones on the east side of the world. I just got to the west side and not finding any of their stories interesting yet.
