meh, not a fan of movie simulators...

This is the one with most of the memes. The main antagonist Ryuji is very well written, probably the best I've seen. The ending is quite a rollercoaster, really loved it. This game is a bit weaker than yakuza 0, especially concerning side quests and some minigames. But still a solid entry.

Hello there~

meh. though initially it seems cool. I didn't enjoy the game.

Don't waste time on it. Because the game likes to waste your time.

The plot and story isn't that captivating. Half game through I got so bored with reading all the dialogues that i started simply skipping them.
The combat becomes repetitive at some point as well. Outside of combat you have to wait all the spell animations to play out completely before you can do anything. You can chose other characters during these frames, but you can't access inventory, can't cast spells (you can't even press escape....), this is especially annoying when you just finished a fight and you need your whole squad to recover. so you spend 2 minutes healing... Why do I need to wait for all the animations to play out, all the skills to be on cooldown, when this is not a fight... Also in combat you have to be pixel and fraction of a second perfect sometimes with spells when the enemy on the edge of the range of your skills. Some genius came up with an idea of animating enemies they constantly move, sometimes abruptly, so that your focus breaks on them and you missclick your spell. In the end your characters waste action points on walking to the enemies instead of applying a skill...
And then there are traps... one of the worst mechanics, quite often my whole squad would go down so I have to constantly save the game in case i die to traps and this breaks the immersion for me so badly. This is solved by having high perception for the chars, but in a roleplay game what if you don't want to play as high perception char?? Apparently you HAVE TO have high perception in this game to progress the main questline, but this is not communicated by the game at all, so at one point you just have to massively invest into perception instead of increasing other abilities you want to have.
Some puzzles also have bad design.
Quests are not perfect, they are obscure, which may be ok, but not in this game. Npcs would give you the same line of some bs if you are doing things in the order not intended by the designer. The main quest line with star stones is also weird, the naming is bs, npcs call them starstones in inventory you have them as inert stones and in fact they come of bloodstones which apparently one has to use in order to progress the storyline...

Didn't follow the plot. But it's a nice rythm game!

Better watch on youtube.
The game is not bad, but... The time pressure puzzles are annoying sometimes, plot is kinda interesting, but you are never sure whether you are supposed to play a role of a guy or answer from your perspective, which causes confusion since your character sometimes makes decisions by himself. the art is cool though

if one doesn't press a direction for the sword slash the character may slash in the direction opposite to what it faces. this really ruins the experience. such inconsistency may break any speed run
