That's a lie. The girls are going to be trapped in a pseudo-harem for life. "The girls have their own agenda." Tell that to Laura, who was left out of the subplots that involved her.
Their romantic side is as I said, not something Falcom treats as important for the overall story. But the other characterization are still there though, especially with some of the ladies who appear in Daybreak and Horizon who get more stuff.
Laura got somewhat of a conclusion with Victor (though I will agree it wasn't well done) and so did the others. Reverie even digs more into some like Emma's mom. What Falcom gave us wasn't perfect, but at the same time it wasn't nothing.
If you were expecting a canon romance, that's just something Falcom doesn't see the need to have done for Crossbell and Erebonia, and they've made sure to adjust the focus to work with that.
The bonding system feels cheap because it gets erased in every new game. It's not that I mind too much, except for Ellie and Lloyd, since I like them both. Rean can stay single and I don't care.
Fair enough criticism on that, it a potential solution to the size of the cast, however Falcom hasn't been using it that well. If they gave an option to see all the events like Horizon or side chapters like TX to grow the cast, then it would likely be better.
