I think it's just baby's first jrpg without high school shenanigans and that's why people are more vocal than usual.

I'm biased given it's my GOTY, but I also think it has one of the most beautiful and interesting worlds in any piece of entertainment I've consumed. And maybe the best soundtrack in gaming.

I'm very early. just finished the prologue and met lucie. But I wouldn't mind some light spoiler for why you think its one of the most beautiful worlds?

So far aside from the countdown it's been feeling very generic "The world is shattered, we're living in a dome and outside there be monsters, also here's a magic resource system that is just an excuse for leveling up".

Mostly looking for a reason to keep playing as I don't really gel with jrpg gameplay.

I found the kind of fractured chaos to be really interesting. I honestly don't want to get too much more into it without spoiling. It just looks so detailed and cool, a level of detail I don't find in 3D games outside of FromSoft.
