Oh that's okay I actually somewhat agree with you, I have way more fun with the game than my criticisms imply. This is a thread about discussing the game though, so when asked to share our thoughts I put a bunch of the complaints I had at the time. What you read through text can never match your actual thoughts, I actual think the game is fairly enjoyable. I don't seem to remember you clarifying anything on the lip-syncing though? So idk what you mean there. Also, I think you might have mixed "tutorial" and "intro". The intro to the game is actually pretty good, it was so cute how Rex dives and comes on the ship and then all the sudden there's a giant enemy crustacean on his ship that he has to fight. It's so silly and "homey" and I thought it was hilarious how it literally introduces you to the game like that xD I also really loved the ship segment. In general I liked the ... "dungeons" the games had so far, though I haven't really played it today so i'm not far.

This is kind of like the first real JRPG i'm getting myself into, if you don't consider dungeon crawlers or strategy games. I've dabbled into the first game and some Final Fantasy's, but for the most part this is my first. I still like it, I just am a very cynical asshole.

Also I agree that graphics rarely bother me enough to affect the game, just think they can be incredibly disappointing at times, but hey i know Monolith can do even better next time!

The lip sync was for the Japanese VO that's why the English VO doesn't match it , or did I misinterpret what you said about it?

Oh that. Well I mean I know that, that's the case for a lot of japanese entertainment. I just wish that some effort was put into matching it more
