I finished a very enjoyable playthrough from start to VI thanks to Pixel Remasters, and I bought VII-IX on Switch to keep it going. I'm on the first arc in Kalm after leaving Midgard and I am finding it a struggle to get through. This game moves so slow, the story is not at all interesting so far, combat is entirely monotonous, the characters are flat, the controls are clunky, and the cut scenes are excruciatingly long and pointless.

I do not want to play through it for completeness sake, but I also don't want to give up too early.

I feel like I should be enjoying it by now, right? Is there some point in the story where it really takes off? If so, how close am I?
