I heard a lot of takes, that the best EDF is the latest one. I understand that now, these takes make a lot of sense. It is still mostly fun game with classes, which offer different experience. But I always feel that without additions from EDF 5 it does not feels as satisfying.
You only receive weapons for your class, and there are mostly duplicates by the end of the game without any upgrades. Wing Diver without her dash has still solid mobility, but as not enjoyable as in the next game. But the worst thing is that the game is way more frustrating at times. Placement of tons of enemies and spawners is ridiculous (like in mission 96). Also thanks Sandlot for getting rid of dragons in the next game. Regular dragons are not that bad, although they are a menace for sure. But boss dragon with his damage over time flame, which still gives damage after fading is not something that I would like to see in a game. Also some of the missions with water segments feel unnecessary too.
I still do not regret completing 4.1, but it only makes me interested to get back to EDF5 more. At least OST sounds cooler and unintentional Fencer's dash cancel is bonkers.
