So I'm not almost 30 hrs. in and, although I've come to respect the variety of systems/stats/ and things going on in the game, I've regrettably reached a point where I couldn't care less. For example, there's a crafting system you can use together with certain skills in order to create in-game items (as well as better weapons and so on). I tried it a few times, and meh. I just want to finish the game. Most towns allow you to take a "private action", which is sort of like a side-story involving only one of the characters in your party. I did one (by mistake) and meh. I just want to finish the game. I think you get the picture...

In all, although the story has moved along and I have a better sense of what's happening, the game is quite underwhelming in lots of regards. Maybe it's the voice acting which seems a bit flat and, in many cases, lacking the "proper" emotion. Maybe I'm just frustrated that a lot of the "cut scenes" are incredibly slow...

At this point, I just want the game to end, but I'm curious enough about the story to continue playing. We'll see what I think when I hit 40 hrs...

"At this point, I just want the game to end, but I'm curious enough about the story to continue playing."

^^ I dread this! It's this weird game limbo where you oscillate between wanting to quit or keep going, but inevitably in the process of deciding, you keep spending more time on it because it might get better, it might get more interesting, it might be worth it...It's like not bad enough to stop but it's not good enough to want to continue. Game limbo!

More like purgatory.
I'm glad(?) to hear that I'm not the only one...
