the characters were fun to play as but the plot sucks and the story was dragged out WAYYYYYY too much. The plot is told like both sonic-adventure-style, where its multiple characters' different perspectives on the same period of events but also it isn't that at all and its confusing and makes no sense whatsoever. More VN than fighting game in a single player context imo. I'm sure the multiplayer was fun when it was new but nowadays I don't think theres a lot of reasons to play this with pals over central fiction. Even if I didn't really understand what was actually going on, at least the characters were kinda cool to see interacting with one another and the world was kinda interesting?
