Things I've really liked thus far...

The leveling of the magic/skills with use. I'll admit I tend to find my one mage niche and then just spam it, so this mechanic is forcing me to more fully develop those I probably wouldn't use much, and with very positive results.

The graphics, which I find smoother and more attractive than earlier engines, and the non-rtp enemies are really done well.

but mostly...

Now that I've found Genevieve, it's definitely the banter. I know there are some who don't care for all the 'talk-talk-talk', but, for me, how do you tell a story without dialogue? And this banter is just so funny and reminiscent of Random, Sarah, and Wendala. Yet, they aren't the same characters at all. Caius shows the same frustration when the bickering starts, but whereas Random would just order the two females to stop the bickering, Caius seems to be a little less in control and even a little deferential. More of a 'Would you 2 please (i.e. pretty please) stop?' as opposed to Random's, 'Both of you are now ordered to stop!' It makes the characters more endearing. And, of course, Marlyn IS a succubus, so it's going to be interesting to see just how much control Caius is actually exerting over Marlyn (and vice versa of course).

The character development of Busho is definitely a little more subtle. (Is that an oxymoron?) I love the friendship between Busho and Caius: rivalrous, sometimes even callous, but the affection and loyalty of each for the other is never in doubt.

Gotta say, so far I'm loving this game, and I don't see this changing anytime soon. <3

THANK YOU!!

Hopefully! But IMO, it stays at the same level (or gets better ) till the end.

Haven't reached that far into the game as you - still have only 3 characters ... but I wanted to add something.
I like Busho in battle and I understand his perspective but he gets on my nerves with his pessimistic attitude and his envy towards Caius ... like chill out bro - live your own life

Not sure he's so envious about Marlyn though

My thoughts up till now:

I've been playing a good part of 4 hours (4h45min) and in those hours I've found 6 secret rooms (2,3,4,5,7,8), started 7 quests (1,2,4,5,6,8,10) of which I've finished 1,2 and 6. Not such a good stat, but am enjoying every minute of it

The dialogues are hilarious, the music is excellent, the characters are in-depth and interesting, the different locations very extensive... It's a game with so much to discover. I'm doing my best to be thorough in my first runthrough, but I'm 100% sure I've missed loads (am currently in Marmaris)

The new battle-system is totally my cup of tea, but maybe a quick battle option could be added?

I currently purchased the Book of Legends, but this game is by far more epic (imho at least)

It was worth the long wait, definitely

Keep up the good work, Indy

Thank you so much for these kind words, and glad you're having a wild ride with it.

but maybe a quick battle option could be added?

Forgot to say, not sure if you meant a rush feature (a bit hard to implement at this point and given the nature of the battle system) but you can definitely make battles faster from the options menu (bottom line, pick ♦♦♦♦)
