In terms of gameplay this is probably the best of the trilogy, though that's to be expected. In terms of the story, i'm not very sure how I feel about it. It's good y'know, but I feel like IE2 had a lot more emotional payoffs, and a lil deeper at that. Though I won't deny that winning the FFI was hype as hell and it sure made me crack a whole smile, the ending was just kinda there. Instead of a lotta cool subplots converging like they did towards the end of IE2 here they just kinda kill off a bunch of them beforehand in exchange for a cleaner, fair one to one match type of ending which is awesome but i still kinda prefer how IE2 did it. Biggest gripe I have with it is Ogre Team i mean when those mfs pop up in the middle of the story they're overleveled as shit they're one hell of an artificial roadblock and made me drop the game for a while. In the end i just kinda had to grind XP which wasn't really hard but it sure wasn't all that fun. I really hate those aspects of RPGs which is why I don't usually play them much. Call me a pussy if you want (you're right)

why does the 3DS game from 2010 have gacha mechanics i fucking hate this shit
