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.

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.

Whew. This gave me flashbacks. Like I don't mind collecting random stuff but it's gotta have some discernable purpose or gotta be fun or make narrative sense... otherwise is not really a game just a line of uninteresting chores. It is beautiful though.
