Pros

The story is great.
Campaign two was super cool.
The progression of the world overall was interesting.
Yuri was fine.
The story is what keeps me around.
Campaign three has been a very short railroad.

Cons

Insufferable game.
The gameplay is fun for a short amount of time, but gets tedious with back-to-back fights.
The bag building and card play wears out its welcome fast.
Cinematic mode doesn't eliminate the grind, just gives you weapons you could have gotten through grinding.
By the end, everything becomes trivial.
Boss fights are not creative.
Last fight swapping bags felt bad.
Campaign two was weaker than campaign one.
Catherine is insufferable with the worst voice acting.
AI voice acting was used.
Character progression felt minimal and repetitive.
There's no incentivized reason to play again.
Cinematic mode isn't cinematic enough.
The game is exhausting.
Campaign two was not cared for.
The game is unbalanced.
The game's idea of challenge is just constantly having you whittled down without healing.
The beginning is difficult, but halfway through it becomes insanely easy.
The prestige system requires a grind.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)

AI Voice Acting — They did AI generate their voice actors. Forellers that we broke into the open. Fourth has been doing voice AI voice this entire time.
Bag Building — The bag building and the card play wears out its welcome so fast. The swapping bags didn't upset me as much as deck building. They're generic chips and our base chips are pretty similar.
Card Play — The bag building and the card play wears out its welcome so fast.
character synergy — They almost feel like they can both do damage and somehow at some point I got to a point where I was doing a bunch of damage. If I can get plus attacks on that, which I can give you like. Now we can set up to a point where I'm going to do a bunch of attacks at plus three.
Cinematic Mode — Cinematic mode is really just cut out the grind, here's your weapons, which you could do the grind and get the same weapon. It's not like it's giving you better weapons. It's giving you the weapons that you just don't have to grind for now.
House Ruling — I don't think I've house ruled a game as much as I do this one just to do the story for sure.
Prestige system — The prestige system while it sounded cool, it is effective if you do the grind.

Quotes (from this video)

I'm going to be completely honest. I find this game insufferable.
The bag building and the card play wears out its welcome so fast.
So, it's not creative in any way.
I'd rather go scuba diving.
I don't think I've house ruled a game as much as I do this one just to do the story for sure.
Catherine's insufferable. I I cannot stand her.
They did AI generate their voice actors.
It's like 25% of this game I really enjoy. Another 25% I tolerate and another 50 I despise.
This gives me the way I feel about Balders's Gate. This just gives me exhaustion.
I am dropping from my campaign one score of a nine to a 7.5.
I'm going give it a seven, which to me it feels high. But a six feels too low.

Quotes (from this video)

This isn't really a review or a discussion over over anything. Uh, not yet anyway. Um, because um, Sky Kingdom Games just announced like their first major update for Veil Word. This is kind of like a breaking news of the uh, of the board game industry for a specific game.
The vision of the game was to somewhat replicate the old school JRPG feel of video games like Final Fantasy 3 or 6, uh Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Seven Saga, and others, and translate that experience to a tabletop game.
JRPGs work in video games. Grinding works in video games. Even though a lot of people still don't like it whenever you have a short amount of time, it works because it's like that to fight the same enemy over and over. The amount of enemies I could fight in one hour of a video game versus one hour of a board game are vastly different.
I think this is a much needed addition.
But it is nice that there there is a basically validation of I'm not the only one complaining because the se the second edition stuff to in my mind was also supposed to fix the grind and as in practice as you start playing more it's like no it still didn't it's still awful fine.
