As a disclaimer, I messed up my team builds and I'm currently stuck at the final boss. I've tried the fight a handful of times but think my current team set-up just cannot win the fight, so I'm saying I finished it even though I technically haven't seen the ending yet. Will try to come back to it later.

I tried playing this game a few months back after beating FC and SC back-to-back, and for some reason it just did not click with me. I think the change in location + context sorta threw me off, and I put it down only after about 5-6 hours. But I'm so so glad I decided to pick it back up again.

What an absolute ride. Once I was able to take this game for what it was, everything seemed to click into place. Without going into too much detail, this game just did everything right for me, but I have to give credit to the world-building in this game. The side stories are some of the best I've ever seen in a game, and although they took a lot of time to get through, I'm so glad I did, it made the world and characters feel that much more fleshed out. On to Zero now!
