I dislike almost every JRPG cutscene out there for now. Well except dragon beheading.TBQH I disliked the plotline of the tutorial.Things happen too quickly and in such a non chalant way. Oh you were found hurt outside the city walls, now go chill in the festival for two and a half minutes while we foreshadow that bad things are coming®. It was too compressed and why the fuck am I storming the maze if there's an army of mongrels assembling behind oh ok because they'll take too long, thanks Lann.
Maybe you trying to do something in the city before you have to go into mongrel place would be better.
