nothing has changed and the game has actively gotten worse in my opinion (the only thing to do on it is talk to people -> the people to talk to suck -> what now) and the musty reviews this has been getting lately are proving my fucking point

Feels incomplete in comparison to Platinum but I still had a lot of fun playing. Mostly I notice stuff like Amity Square and Eterna Gym being really incomplete compared to their Platinum counterparts.

No real comment on Cynthia because I beat her with an extremely underlevelled team and won purely by stalling/farming the Elite Four for EXP. I haven't looked at the postgame whatsoever though so I'll have to update this review later.
