I'm playing USUM. Games have so much side quests. The world has more life in it than other regions and games. Qol changes good

The quests add alot if anime vibes to it but I have to say cut scenes and barren areas make games less engaging

I feel like the base is good just bad excusion.

Skipable cut scenes
Bigger world. Not open world just a world that's a big enough to feel fun

Festival plaza expands like splatoon has with online pub
