So I caved in and bought this game, even though I wasn't sure that I'd like it. But everyone praised it. So far I haven't played much, just a few days, but it's so boring. Farming is simplistic, seriously, carrots grow in a single day! Combat is incredibly clunky, simple, and boring, too. The story is a standard JRPG so far. Most of the characters are sexy maiden in ridiculous outfits.
Right, the designs are quiet terrible, not only they're ridiculous, but made with a male gaze in mind. I had to choose a 'mannish' body option at creation screen just to avoid the sexualized outfit. Even now she's wearing super-high boots like a stripper, but it's not as visible on the 'mannish' model, so most of the time I can at least pretend that she doesn't. She stands like a dude, legs far apart, which looks quite bad in cutscenes, but at least I don't see her butt rolling left and right, left and right while she's running, breaking all laws of physics (is it slightly detached from her body that it rolls like that?). And seriously, what about that huge pauldron on her shoulder? It's not functional and her hair clips right through it.
Hopefully the game gets better. So far, my first impressions are terrible.
