This is an RPG with a nice graphic and sound atmosphere, in which you need to delve into the plot, mechanics and read the dialogues. Otherwise the game turns into something incomprehensible.
I can see what you are saying. I felt that I did more reading than actual combat and exploring this update. Story is important but its nice to have some sort of engagement in the middle of it. Also I wasn't a fan of the General boss fight. It felt too simple and repetitive. Go celestial, beat him up, he heals and you go back to human form and repeat.
