Its good. The longer you play the more it becomes a JRPG. That casual play goes to hardcore grind and endless hours to get a small upgrade. Honestly I stopped even catching them because the balls got so expensive to craft that I would just kill things to lvl 50 which was faster given the poor catch rates even with the best balls. 2% for a lvl 50 shiney is crap with a legendary sphere. I conquered but skipped most of the basebuilding because that's where you can waste time. I wish the pals had more strength because a lvl 50 pal and the starting area pals are so damn weak compared to the pals you find later on. I mean like 1/25 the strength. Some skills are just OP and others are useless. Grinding dungeons was the fastest I could level. I would run around in a dungeon killing stuff to lvl up. Got to 50 pretty damn fast and skipped the catching things lol. You would get a bonus for catching new pals but 20k for like palballs and the time it takes to capture. I could kill 10 mobs giving 5k exp each. Its faster to not catch things and just blow through dungeons with a good skill like shadow dash. Clearing rooms would net more than that in a fraction of the time. which is sad because catching them is the best part of this game. I beat the game and didn't catch everything cuz whats the point lol. Wheres the drive.
