Am I the only one who feels kinda... not that engaged with the 3.x plot?
So, for context I started to play on 2.1 and loved HSS, Belobog and Penacony through and through, which is pretty normal (you could argue for Penacony but oh well), I also enjoyed the Wardance arc even though I've hated base Luofu, and probably the most controversial thing about my story taste is that I really really really liked 2.6, probably my favorite out of the bunch.
But for some reason, Amphoreus to be is just making me think "Oh wow that's neat" and nothing more, at least for the most part, >!Ofc I really liked Tribios' story towards the end of this version, but it didn't hit me, also I could not care for Mydei and they somehow made me not like a character like Anaxa, I don't hate him, I just feel indifference towards him, which is insane because I love his trope.!<
I think indifference is the main word I'd use to describe Amphoreus, I find the Flame-Chase journey a good concept on paper but I just don't feel anything towards it, most of the Crysos Heirs either haven't appeared yet for some reason or are just characters I don't get the hype for?
Castorice? I don't get the hype.
Mydei? I can see why people would like him but it's very boring imo.
Anaxa? Even though he will probably get a proper part in the story next version, for now he is just there for me, I sometimes even forget about him.
Hyacine? What is exactly to love about her? I don't dislike her but I don't see anything on her.
Tribbie? Very very cool, I loved the implications of >!See you tomorrow!< but for some reason I cannot seem to care about them at all.
Aglaea? This one's probably my second favorite, she is very cool but nothing outstanding really.
Phainon? Yeah this one is just very cool.
To me it feels like Amphoreus is disguising as a character focused plot, when it's not, and the fact that the antagonist is an evil force instead of a character also irks me the wrong way, Amphoreus technically has the most characters out of any planet, why do I feel like it has less personality?
There's just not much for me to find endearing, I still LIKE the story, but I don't CARE for it, and it's not that I don't usually care about stories, I do care and I can get emotional too, literally earlier this week I cried during ZZZ's new agent story, so that is not the problem.
TL;DR: I feel no attachment to Amphoreus cast and feel like the cast has less personality than any other planet, I like the story but don't really care about it, anyone else in this situation?
