Metaphor: Refantazio. I'm up to the second city and loving nearly everything about it so far. The hype was mostly warranted.
Don't understand the people who are now coming out of the woodwork to call it "generic" or "boring". If they're not outright trolls, the only explanation I've got is that they're the kind of players who skip most of the dialogue and cutscenes and are completely allergic to thinking about the story, world, or themes. I don't really understand why people like that would play JRPGs at all, but I am assured that some of them do.
And the voice on that monk whose chants they used as "lead vocals" for some of the soundtracks is almost worth the price of admission by itself.
