Extremely cool game that constantly reinvents itself and manages to remain interesting and surprising in every chapter (I thought Pogo's scenario got way to much "comedy" for my liking, but even then, it was something different). There are at least two undeniably top tier stories, and the remaining of the game keeps trying cool stuff, so even if it doesn't stick the landing you kinda have to give it to them.

It is all fun and games until the final encounter, which have you fighting a boss that's 10 times harder than any other enemy thus far. This boss is vicious, it has like 8 times more HP than the other bosses, it can, and will, one-shot you, and has AoE attacks that will interrupt your own charged attacks and that will decimate your party's health. You could argue that it is kinda the point, and that the fight could be fun if you arrive there prepared (by this I mean, if you grind your way there, and I'm talking like 2 hours or so of just grinding, that's like 10% of the runtime of the whole game, JUST GRINDING IN THE LAST CHAPTER), I mean it definitely challenges your mastering of the combat, but any game that has this sort of crazy fucking spike in difficulty, and I repeat that in my honest to god estimate it is like a 10x spike, just fucks it up. I'm sorry.

I was so close to loving this game and now I'm pissed.
