Yeah, pretty disappointing. Not at all surprising, considering pretty much the exact same sort of outcome as the whole chocobo training "feature" which was hyped but turned out to be exactly nothing but a way to force us to grow vegetables and watch cut scenes. But yeah. The real question is why Square feels the need to hype up these features in such a way that they suggest there will be something more to it, something with actual depth instead of the item vending machine we are going to get. Feels disingenuous.

About now, the first white knight is scheduled to show up and tell us to wait for the system to get patched before we make a judgement.


EDIT: wow they beat me to it before i could even finish the post.
