I was pretty excited for the game and was happy to get it with my Switch. I love the style of the game, and I don't mind the disjointed nature of the party since that's normal in the SaGa franchise, but the battle system is what ultimately kept me shelving it. I really don't like Guard Break mechanics in my RPGs because all it does is slow combat to a crawl. I hate fighting in this game because even a simple group of enemies feel like a chore. It's fun in boss battles but sucks when its used in regular combat.

I plan on getting back to it eventually, but it has not been a priority.
