The episode is the one I liked the least but the story has some good links with Crossbell/Erebonia events.
I liked Kevin & Ries story and the lore on the dominions and the squire. Olivert's goal and Osborne's one are a bit more explain here. This game is actually important to understand what's happening in the background of Class VII's journey in Cold Steel I and II. Also Renne's story was the big moment of this game to me.
However, the game could have been way shorter to be better. Some stories were really not that interesting and to me, just there to make the game bigger. The difficulty was sometimes really ridiculous with fights who seemed made to be lost (CB for example); like you think you have won but suddenly, the enemy has strangely four to five turns following and wipe out your team. There is no way of fighting to learn, it's just there to make you restart the fight with a boss with less HP.
Overall, not a bad game but it's not at the level of Sky SC at all or even FC.

The fact that this game and Velvet are linked to a game like Zesteria is just crazy. This is so good compared to the other one, same universe but way cooler here, characters are well written. Really better in everything. Velvet is The best main character of the franchise to me.
2015
Yes it's not the strongest game of the franchise tbh. It could have been good but the story was too messy to keep my interest. I think it's the first game where the leading female character is been replaced by another one in the game without any explanation at all. It's like the gamer is the testimony of the internal conflicts during the production of this game.

It's rare but i like the second chapter of a game better than the original. I was way more in the story than the first one and the good things of the first one like the combat system got improved here with the new characters in the team. Ludger is really one of the best main character of the franchise.
2011
It's one of the disliked of the franchise but i personally liked it. It's cool to have a cool elder character in your team, a breath of fresh air in the genre. The story was not super original compared to other entries of the franchise but i had a good time on it.
2005
My second favorite after Graces F. I love the story. Characters like Luke and Natalia stayed in my gaming memory even today. Jade is such a cool character too. If you like story driven games, this tales is among the best one imo. Combat style is close to Star Ocean 1 or 2 so if you have no problem with that, you should try this one.
2010
imo, this is the best tales of i have played. I cared for the characters the most thanks to the first 10-hours where you played them as children. This brings such depth to each of them cause you understand their trauma and the position of outsiders like Pascal. Pascal who is among the best Tales character.
My grade would have a been a bit lower without the DLC. I was more scared of RE7 but then the DLC arrived, creeped me out a lot and was more difficult than the core game.
I liked the universe of the core game but I was really feeling the RE4 vibes too much to find it original. Bad guys designs were cool but the game is too short to give it a real interest. However, I do think Miranda is the baddie I liked the most in the franchise. I also liked the Winters story and for once, Chris who finally has some charisma.

Naoki Hamaguchi has created the most beautiful and entertaining world map of Square Enix in a while imo. My jaw dropped on each region because it was beautiful, musically excellent and with an unique atmosphere in each one. So much personality in this game.
I am part of the gamers who played the OG in the 90's and this rebirth went way beyond my imagination. Characters have so much personality whether it's the main cast (Cait Sith and Yuffie improvement OMG), the "enemies" (Elena, Rufus or Tseng!) or the NPCs (Dio, Bugenhagen...). Story is intriguing even if you know most of it already. Music is the best tracklist I ever heard in any game (Vincent OST and Jenova one!!!) .I can't wait for the final game.
Critics I can make are the difficulty management in Dynamic (most of the game ok but summons fights and the final bosses too punishing for no reasons), some minigames horrible (Fort Condor and Gambit !!!) and the lightning management in some areas way too dark for my poor eyes. I'd also like different limit breaks with only one new in this game and it's so late that the chances are high you won't get it at all.
But overall, I loved the game.

Kiwami 2 reminded me of 0 in many ways: two big minigames fun to play, a solid main story and many sidequests more or less interesting. The only things i didn't like are the ending way too rushed and some sidequests stories who went too far this time (the sister kidnapped, drugged and assaulted.... and the benefit of this sidequest....)
2009
Full of surprises until the very end. Bayonetta is such a cool character, the gameplay is good, boss fights are over the top but the graphics are really downgrading the overall experience. I'd love to see Bayonetta on a better device.
2001
Old but really fun to play. But it's hard. Dante for life!
Less good than C&P but i still love the universe. The problem being the twist about the main case is too easy to read and fell flat.
Sherlock Holmes games don't have a big audience but I am all here for them after this one. It's fun to play.
I love everything about it: it's like watching a good trial anime.
