like 750~ hours into this game and quite a bit of money I kind of hate it? I think the story is fine w/ some peaks and I think the music in general is good but Canto 9 put several bad tastes into my mouth that have soured the recent enjoyment I've had of it.

Mirror dungeons you can only do so much before it feels like a slog and when that's *the* endgame it is miserable and EXP grinding is also miserable at basically any stage of the game. New team? Get grinding buddy. New lvl cap? get grinding. New ID you want to use? 54 Blue tickets please.

At least Canto 9 gave me Valencina and Lucio and they give me a boner. Hong Lu too.
