ANYONE DONE BLU YET?

[Jojoya]

Story is kind of fun, but MC is frustrating, unfair, overturned garbage as it always has been and probably always will be.

I haven't been through all of the MC stages yet but I didn't see them as being unfair or overtuned.

You do need to pay attention to the elemental strengths and weaknesses (which I admit can be frustrating). There's a reason why MMOs have phased out elemental mechanics over the years - most players don't tend to find them fun or interesting. But it also doesn't hurt to have side content like Masked Carnival available to those who do.
