I finished a very enjoyable playthrough from start to VI thanks to Pixel Remasters, and I bought VII-IX on Switch to keep it going. I'm on the first arc in Kalm after leaving Midgard and I am finding it a struggle to get through. This game moves so slow, the story is not at all interesting so far, combat is entirely monotonous, the characters are flat, the controls are clunky, and the cut scenes are excruciatingly long and pointless.

I do not want to play through it for completeness sake, but I also don't want to give up too early.

I feel like I should be enjoying it by now, right? Is there some point in the story where it really takes off? If so, how close am I?

After Kalm the game story really kicks into high gear. Stick it out at least until you hit Costa Del Sol after Junon. If you don't like the game at that point, its just not your cup of tea.

But, I have to say, out of all the final fantasy games I've played, this one has always been my favorite. The story just gets more and more complex as you go. Its got a lot of layers. But, if thats not what you're looking for, thats okay. Not liking the combat is problematic. Maybe try the active timer instead of the wait timer if you haven't already?

Hopefully, you stick it out proper. I really think there's a lot this game has to offer.

Ok thanks! I'll stick it out until Costa Del Sol.

You should report back here once you get to Costa Del Sol! Im really curious if you will keep playing the game, or if you had to put it down.
