the pacing gets kinda wacky at points but the game makes up for it in epicness. i have a personal inclination towards the kind of story nine is starting to tell from this game on so i think episode 3 keeps the series' trend of getting better each entry, even if haruka is one of the weaker heroines

musically this one also rules. nine's soundtrack is great from episode 1 but this game debuts some of my favorite pieces, and harutoki is far and away the best opening
