ANOTHER EDEN Global

Each character on this game has a pretty extensive backstory too... Each character has multiple side quests that are specific to them. Some characters even have full-blown events that are specific to them. I'm guessing that you just never bothered to go do any of the side content.

What you're saying about balance also makes no sense, as the game is definitely balanced around the necessity to build multiple teams based on elements, attack type, weapon type, dungeon type, etc.

I'm guessing that you never actually played any of the character quests or the end-game dungeons. If you actually did, then I apologize for jumping to conclusions, but your comments make it seem to me like you didn't actually play very much of the game.
