good start to the series, very slow paced but it doesn't feel like its drawn out or wasting your time. also really good ending
suffers a bit more with pacing issues and some really boring parts more than FC did, but makes up for it with how amazing the story is. gameplay is also much better as you pretty much always have 4 party members. love u loewe
has the best story out of the sky trilogy imo, plus the best gameplay and boss design. was initially kind of turned off due to how different it was but the heavier focus on gameplay worked out really well. also has a sort of dual protagonist thing like fc had but kevin and ries are much more interesting than estelle and joshua were in fc. love them sm
gameplay is a bit of a downgrade from 3rd but still fun. SSS r amazing (except kind of elie) and are what makes this game so good. the self-contained plot here is good but nothing mind blowing (which is a given since its another set-up game) and didn't leave me as excited as the endings to FC or CS1 did. also has the (so far) best map in the series with how much smaller it is, gives the game a very intimate feeling since everything takes place in basically one city
probably one of the best games ever, only real complaint is that crossbell does get a tiny bit tiring to explore after 50 hours in Zero and another 50 in this.
gameplay is mostly the same here, not much to say.
the story and characters are amazing though, mainly fragments and the finale. the SSS r one of the most fun cast of characters ive ever seen and i lvoe all of them so much. KeA and the whole sequence with her and lloyd at the end ruined me forever

a lot of gameplay improvements here, new quartz system felt limiting initially but i grew to love it a lot. having as large a cast as it does a majority of them don't get a ton of exploration or development, but it isnt at all bad. Comparable to my feeling of FC in a lot of ways, but what makes this one better imo is Crow and the whole final few chapters, which again invokes a similar feeling that FC's ending did, just the story didn't take as long to get exciting.
not gonna write a ton because i'd end up going on for way too long but
i would be a much worse person if i never played this game
every single one of its themes resonates with me, and my initial playthrough of it made me completely re-evaluate myself and how i acted.
the way it's gameplay melds with the themes is also incredible, never seen a game even try something similar.
the entire cast is great here (especially joshua) and there isn't a single boring moment in the game
ost is also incredible
dont think i have a single complaint to give this game honestly

still an amazing game, but lacks the connection between the gameplay and themes the OG had, though the gameplay is still very fun.
takes a good while to get any payoff, but the entire third week is incredible
a lot less in your face with its writing than the first game, which may be why i felt it was weaker than the og
OST is somehow better than the og tho idk how they managed that

the actual story of this game is relatively generic, nothing too special. same with the gameplay, as most of it felt like a chore (especially with how easy it was).
but the characters, polca and lily especially, are so amazing i couldn't give this game anything but 5 stars. this is the only game to make me cry for multiple hours at once, and you can tell how much passion was put into it.
also shade's osts are so so good omg

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

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

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

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

peak fiction
though it does have some sort of weak moments, it's highs completely make up for it.
the rest of the Ushiromiya's get a bunch more characterization, and the addition of erika is great of course. can't really say much without spoilers, but this is one of the best things ive ever read.
