Is Triangle Strategy Good?

Might be a bit of a biased place to ask, but is it good? I love Octopath Traveler 1 and 2 and I love tactical rpgs like XCOM so I figured this would be perfect. However, I played about three hours and dropped it. For the three hours that I played I got maybe 30 minutes of gameplay. I understand that RPG intros are lengthy, but how long does it take before the gameplay/story ratio evens out?
