I'm trying to force my way through the original Ni No Kuni and it's cute as all hell, but I mean when I say I have never come across a poorer combat system and the pacing is absurd. It's not just the grind, it's that the grind is completely indiscriminate.

This is getting worse. I have to steal something from a fucking bird, but literally all the birds run away from me, then when I finally get to them i have to switch to the guy who can steal things, but the other characters kill the birds before I even have a chance.

I have to go around and capture an ice queen to make it a familiar I have spent three hours in that fucking grotto waiting for the random chance for it to allow the capture. It hasn't. This is the single worst designed game I've ever played & I wrote 27k words about that in RDR2.

Running away from random encounters, you know the cornerstone of JRPGs? Yeah, in this game, most of the time it doesn't work, the enemies stop you and then you're tired and wail on you, and you have to try 3-4 times before it MAYBE works.

Also, you can't change your battle tactics UNLESS YOU ARE ALREADY IN A BATTLE, meaning whatever the fuck you were using last time automatically continues into the next real time battle. MEANING YOU CANT CHANGE YOUR TACTICS KNOWINGLY GOING INTO A BOSS. You have to wait.

Hi Hulk! I love you and I value your sanity! Would the game make you happier if you watched a cutscene movie of it? That was how I got through a few games that were making me way more upset than happy.

It made it through somehow in 2013 even though it bothered me a LOT, steered clear of the sequel

The sequel - gameplay wise is 100000x better. Don't like the story as much though
