does the game get better? (answered)

[pugums]

so saw the demo, wanted to try. Im trying to enjoy but ive gone 2 hours into the game and not really anything fun has happened. Like the story is fine if generic so far, the combat is me pressing on button most the time and the majority of it has been text walls so far.

Im just curious if the game gets better of if it just isnt for me?

EDIT: so I followed some suggestions and played the game more and im happy i did. After unlocking more archetypes and the combat becomes more free rather then tutorials it becomes alot more fun. Yes it took near 3 hours to get there but now that im there im much happier. To everyone who replied, thank you!

the game opens up more but if you're not feeling it then maybe its not for you?

[ez game ez life]

give it another 3-4 hours. if by then you're not hooked game is not for you

[Neru]

If that demo impression not impressed you enough then its safe to assume that this game is not for you

[PatatePotato]

Nah drop it, if you don't like the demo, you won't like the game. Reading the "text walls" is part of the fun. It's okay to not like every game.

The demo is the opening act of the game, so if you aren't enjoying it by the time the demo is nearly over then I would go with no.

if the theme of freedom of imagination and thought being integral to the ability for a world to envision a better version of itself doesn't intrigue you and your main response to worldbuilding exposition is oversimplifying it to "walls of text" when Atlus is one of the less verbose portions of the C/JRPG market I think it's glaringly obvious that the game isn't for you
if you really want to make sure I'd suggest turning the difficulty up so combat actually demands some brain cells

Why are you getting clown reacted for having an opinion...Not everybody can like every single game and that's okay

i think its cause theres so many clown discussions about the game atm so some folks are reacting with hostility, i aint too worried about it and it makes sense from where there coming from atleast.

Hopeing to enjoy more of the game though

can you elaborate more? I mean yeah you're just hitting buttons and choosing options because this is a turn based rpg. if you don't like that, i highly doubt you will enjoy the rest.

unless you haven't discovered archetypes yet. it might change your mind

[Many-Named]

it gets better after 500h, lol

As a person that drops an anime if the first episode wasn't entertaining, I say drop it of the demo didn't seem great. That is kind of why the demo is there other than testing if it runs well.

of course

i do enjoy turn taking games but atleast atm many of them feel like they require more thought then this. I have unlocked archetypes and had one fight with em which i am strugling to enjoy cause i just use the same ability multiple turns in a row so far. I havent felt a need to think about combat yet and i know its really early in game so far so its unfair for me to say that but thats why im asking if it gets better. Dunno if i want to put more time into it if the gameplay doesnt improve.

I will say imma keep playing the demo and see if things improve in it but well see

thanks for elaborating. i think the saving grace is the archetypes, since you're not locked to one playing style. you can unlock around 4-5 in the demo, and create your own style for your team. If it still didn't work for you, then you better skip this.

Alright i have unlocked even more archetypes and the game most certainly opens up. Not only that the combat improves alot in general after the human fight so im enjoying myself more, thank you for the help!
