i guess the moe artstyle or the characters with exaggerated proportions might throw some people off, but it really is a lighthearted fun game that i keep wondering what i was going through when i dropped it 12 years ago because i couldn't handle Desco anymore even though she's very precious. (i guess the geoblock maps are a bit tiring tho so that may have helped it)
(I totally forgot to mention the story, it was fine, nothing skip worthy mostly thanks to valvatorez and fenrich working off of each other in really cute ways, I even shed a tear at the end with one of the secret epilogues. That said it's really nothing ground breaking and as much as I like my corn, fuka and desco especially became one note joke machines I legit couldn't stand for the two side stories that focused on them.)
Overall, good shit , made a drooling idiot like me care a lot about minmaxing and stats growth , etna is a baddie too.
but other than that i really like this game. the humor's great, game mechanics are fun, and outside of those achievements i mentioned it's super fun to find out new ways to optimize damage. whether that be finding easier methods to grind or duping items, it feels like there's always some way you can get stronger. there's so much more to this game than just grinding an EXP map forever (even if you are doing that a lot)
still, i feel like this game is difficult to recommend. you can't really compare it to other strategy RPGs since grinding takes up so much of this game's appeal. this series has always prided itself on being a completionist's game for those who have no life - so if that's not you and you're just interested in the story or whatever, there's still stuff here but it's not as meaty.
seriously though. what were they thinking with this platinum?? this shit had me hunting for two hours for one singular ship part out of like 100. what the hell is wrong with me?
