There was a thread but it was pretty quiet.
My wife and I really enjoy playing it, have done about 70 hours. I play through RPGs pretty slow so you can definitely get through it a lot quicker. Kingdom building is an awesome part of the game in my opinion, battle system is pretty cool, story is okay, not too difficult skill wise. My only real issue with the game is that there is a lot of voice acting missing, it cuts between voiced and reading in a weird way, parts seem like they should be voiced but they are not.

Yeah, this was annoying at first, but I got used to it, I've played games that have this before, anyways, my thoughts on this is that it made me feel anxious at first for the Kingdom Building segment, only thing that got me past the somewhat boring intro of a mutiny or something like that happening at first, but after I got to that part, I was actually quite disappointed, I thought I could actually explore the Kingdom personally or in third person, but alas, you can't, it's just the same as walking on the world map, they could have made much more of it, Dark Cloud 2 has better building system, actually, even Dark Cloud 1 did too, the combat system though is it's saving grace for me, yeah it's your typical action JRPG combat system but it's something and quite fun, I got my kingdom to level 2 but it's gonna take a while to build lots of its structures, and it feels somewhat of a grind as you need to find quite a number of the citizens to put in or build them, this actually reminds me of Suikoden 2 in someway, anyways, feels like an average JRPG but it's really fun for the most part, clocked in around 20+ hours, not playing it right now though, having a blast with Far Cry 5 atm.
