(I haven't played GTI)

I really enjoyed it. It's not the best PMD game by any means (EOS and RT are better) but I had fun with it. Some QOL stuff was pretty sweet, like not having to replay a dungeon a thousand times to recruit someone and the possibilty of linking movements without paying a fee to a NPC. Moreover, being able to rescue yourself is great without relying on strangers on the internet.

The storyline was OK; it served its purpose, and I didn't expect that plot twist at the end.
