@Zoda_Fett I agree with a lot of what you said. I was really looking forward to this as my entry for the Trials series as people have been talking about it for years... however, I fell off it after about 20 hours in favour of Final Fantasy tactics ( which I have now finished and moved on to Yakuza Zero ) simply because "NOTHING HAPPENS!".
I really appreciate the slow approach and world building but I got to around 20 hours and still had no clue about the main story, who the main villain is, Johsua's past... nothing. I've been to 3 or 4 towns, helped out the locals looking for pets, finding out which staff member in a factory has been smoking etc, which is all fine... But by this time point in the game, there should have been some an inciting incident of some description! I have had one pretty cool scene ( Very Minor spoilers! ) where Agate has a duel with a guy who is seemingly his match, but other than that, it has mainly been about arranging school plays and listening to girls talk about how handsome Joshua is.
I really do want to go back to this as I am sure the game picks up, but I do want to warn people that this is an EXTREMELY slow start, so you need to be in it for the long haul. Also be prepared to listen to more cutscenes than actually playing for long periods.
