using this as a review of a realm reborn
there isnt really anything bad about the game, but nothing about it was especially good.
most of the story was nothing
the gameplay was shallow
the characters, with the exception of alphinaud, were barebones
some of the patches were alright (mainly everything leading up to heavensward, 2.4-2.55) and i loved the parting glass
but thats pretty much the only parts of ARR that did anything at all for me

takes a while to get good but this games story is amazing
gameplay has some great ideas, but bogged down by how easy it is, even on hard.
once the story got going though it was impossible to put the game down, only game that i've played for over 10 hours straight before
demon fusion is extremely fun as it is in every other smt game
the ending had me bawling, which is the reason it isnt 4 or 4.5 stars

one of the best and most mentally draining things ive read
a majority of this game is very depressing, but it never feels too edgy, even when it seems like it's trying to be.
surprisingly i ended up loving takeru, especially after how shitty he could be in extra and unlimited. the sci-fi elements went mostly over my head, but you can tell how much passion the developers had for this game.
best fascist propaganda ever

incredible story and mystery with one of the best casts ever, though a lot of that isn't shown in the first half. Battler and Beatrice are, of course, great, though in the first half the majority of the cast doesn't really have much time to shine with the exception of rosa and maria in episode 2. My main problem is the pacing of episode 4. The sections on the island were all great, but ange's, though shes an amazing character, feel awfully drawn out for no real purpose except to make the reader feel more pity for her.
amazing ost tho

the story here takes a while to get going (2 chapters), but so far its almost comparable to how amazing ruina's was. It is bogged down a bit by it being a gacha, but it's possible to get through all content without grinding for gacha currency.
outside of canto 1 and 2, the entire story has been amazing even in its early stages.
again, the OST is great here, and mili is again the standout of the OST

one of my favorite games ever.
the gameplay system here is great-especially compared to my dislike for lobcorp's, and pretty much never got old.
some fights felt realllly bullshit (keter realization) but nothing except that felt like it was unfair.
the story is also a step up from lobcorp's, feeling much more personal as the sephirah don't get as much spotlight as roland and angela, who are both incredible.
every scene with the two of them is great, and their banter (plus later plot stuff) made me fall in love with them (and this whole game).
being a pmoon game, the world building is also really great, seeing the city from your enemies' perspective helped both develop it as well as the characters you see the perspectives of, leading to some fights where you almost want to lose.
OST is really amazing, ily sm mili

dont have a ton to say since its been a while since i played it, but this game is really great.
theres a lot of jank and I wasn't a big fan of the gameplay for a large part of the game, but it's made up for with its characters and story.
all of the sephirah are really great, and ayin and angela are amazing as well
