I actually love this one a lot. It is held back by a lot of the issues prevalent in the bonding events. But it has what I consider to be some of cold steel's best side quests.
The tone of this one is solid, but could've been better if the romance stuff in the bonding events were sidelined to keep focusing on the fears and worries of the Class 7 cast. I love the music, and how you gradually see less men in towns as you progress due to the draft. It's very much a mixed bag, but I'm glad Falcom at the very least dipped their toes in being dark again (if only briefly).
