Do the 8 stories ever converge? Currently I'm 9 hours in and have about two party members left to recruit. So far you just randomly talk to a dude in town and they join your party for no discernable reason. The cutscenes play out as if that character is alone yet battles have your full party.

I'm in what i guess you would call Act 2 of 4. I finished all the characters first part of their story. In Act 2 they sort of talk to one another. I've read they don't really converge but if you do some secret bosses then it does.

I enjoy it for what it is though. The combat is awesome.

Kinda, but even if you don't do that part the game is great with all 8 stories separate, only one of the stories is super lame, the other 7 have great points in all of them.

I grew to love the tavern scenes as well

They hardly do. Honestly, it got to a point in that game where I had to grind levels for characters’ stories I didn’t care much about and got tired of it quick. Fantastic battle system, but the story and characters didn’t do it for me after a while.

I like this game, in principle, but the story has failed to grab me. Probably because the plotlines do not intertwine and I haven’t really noticed much of an overarching narrative. It gets tiresome playing chapter after chapter that seem to follow similar story beats.

I put it down months ago and I haven’t really come back to it.

The combat and class systems are quite fun. I just wish there was more of a narrative hook.
