Restart gives the impression of the game being unfinished

[Digby]

So for kicks I restarted the game today and the opening really seems to give the impression that the game was unfinished.

That opening was dam slick.
But Griffa is the big thing.
He narrates the opening, does his magical thing during the game then just vanishes.

What was the end cobbled together in a rush or somethin?

I just got bored of "boss" battles after the second one, really hoped they would mix things up a bit, ground combat is bland and lackluster to begin with, but having all boss fights be the exact same one, seems sloppy. Dodge/Parry, Attack, Repeat.

[Mepho]

Actually the Griffa character is a good point.
I forgot fast about him since by just doing side things it was raining with points so I visited him like 3 or 4 times, but he seems to be implied being important someway. And then he vanishes as you say.

Not like the story makes much sense by itself, imho, but that's a point I had yet to see anyone mention.

People have mentioned Griffa a few times.

He just seems to vanish. Its weird. Your encounters with him clearly imply he's some kind of mental construct/personal inner therapist for Max.
But nothing ever comes of it despite you seeming to make considerable progress with him.
