The art, music and the first 3 chapters of the game are delightful, but the further you go through the game - the more it becomes a complete horror for you.

Starting from the 4th chapter you start to face with grind and if the pumping of the character especially does not make any problems, then the pumping of your army is the repetition of one mission 5-10 times.
You will only encounter army problems in chapter 4 and the final chapter. Even when the game says that it requires a level 21 army, it doesn't.
In the last chapter, you are attacked by several fat mobs that will shock half of your army with a single blow, and dodging the blow is not always possible, as some soldiers refuse to follow you.
I'm pumped up to level 30 army, but my ass is already burning from how bad the grind balance is in this game. Same goes for the kingdom mechanics.
You need to complete more than 50 quests to get people for your kingdom, if you didn't do it until the final chapter and only enjoyed the story, I feel sorry for you.
All through the first part of the game you are barely given any time to do your kingdom, but in the last chapters of the game you have to jerk your kingdom for over 10 hours or you won't live to see the end of the game.

It could have been a beautiful game, but this
BANDAI NAMCO likes to destroy everything good in games and add completely stupid things.
Many mechanics are incomplete and made for the sake of empty grind. It makes the game feel like it's not finished.

I would like to recommend this game, but out of similar games of this type - better try Final Fantasy 15.
The game will give you more freedom and fun than repeating the same thing for about the same amount of time.

I'm already so tired of this game that I don't even want to finish this last chapter. All these stupid decisions just ruined all the interest and enjoyment of the game.
I got the first part as a gift a long time ago too, but I have no desire to try playing this anymore.

I started out loving this game. At first, it felt like I was playing something truly special. The kingdom-building aspect is highly motivating, and the cities are well-designed and charming. However, the longer I played, the more its flaws became impossible to ignore.

Here’s my rant:

- You fight the same enemy models at Level 1 and Level 150—they just change color. The same goes for the dungeons, which lack variety.
- The overworld system is boring and feels like a downgrade, reminiscent of Final Fantasy VII from 1998—but worse.
- The party characters are dull and lack engaging backstories. Even after 100%-ing the game, I can only name two of the party members.
- The DLCs are absolute garbage.
- The fantastic animated cutscenes from the first game are entirely missing. Instead, the game features sparse, lackluster cutscenes with almost no epic or bombastic moments.
- There are barely any voiced lines, which makes the story feel less immersive.

Overall, this isn’t a bad game, but I decided to give it a negative review because I simply wouldn’t recommend it to a friend.

Game sucks
