Beloved. Chips are great. Encounter rate too high

I don't really wish to talk about my experience with getting the Iceball M chip.

Without a doubt the best one of these I've played so far let me tell you now. The story is un-fucking-matched, I don't think it gets as ridiculous as 2's but it's so focused and pretty well-written for what it is. Lan throws MegaMan at a guy's head and also jumps out of the second story window of a hospital, literally how can this not be a 10/10.

The music? Wonderful, best ost of the first trilogy. The dungeons, while definitely not amazing (at this point that might just be a trend with this series), are the best yet. I especially love the hospital scenario, it's a legitimately good chapter with high stakes. Same for the final act, that finale is so damn good.

If this were the final game in the series, I think this would be the ideal sendoff for this cast and world. But alas, there are 3 more.

Like the last game, every improvement is counterbalanced with baffling design decisions. New parts system on top of style changes taking less battles and rewarding you upon leveling. Yet it takes so long to max a style that you can go the whole game w/o a style switch. Story hits an emotional peak but dungeon count has shrunk. If you aren't in a bad dungeon, you're dealing with Freezman level padding. Despite QoL changes, post-game still has me running around for hours, cross referencing guides.

this is the one where Lan throws mega man at someone's head to knock him out that rules
