this game is a pretty forgettable, totally adequate and solid tropey JRPG BUT the opening movie with the corny 2005 jpop song and toonami AMV style editing is such a specific timepiece and makes me so emotional that its almost painful--watching it feels like holding space for the grief of an idealized naïve past that never even existed!!!!
