>>24988486Listen you clod. You're not being told PSMD is already interesting. You're being told that it has yet to get interesting, as is the case for most RPGs (or stories in general). In order for a story to be meaningful, you generally first need to relate to and understand the characters. The first portion of PSMD is setting the backdrop for the rest of the story: you learn of your partner's dreams to have an end goal, you get introduced to a lot of your partner's personality through early quests to form a bond with him, and you get to know a few other characters like Nuzleaf, Carracosta, and Ampharos to get a bit of a cast going on.
Almost invariably, you need to first have a peaceful, fairly happy setting before shit goes wrong so that there's some feeling of escalation and stakes.
