i finished this game the day it came out, practically eating up all the content i could get. at first, i was a bit dissappointed by the ending of the game, especially since everything else was so perfect. but i think after reflecting on it a few days, i can accept this ending.

i would've loved to see everyone happy and together again, especially noah and mio. but we do know now that they're reunited. we might not see how they meet each other again, but there are so many clues at the ending of both games that they'll meet again. there might not be a canon way how they meet again, but i think everyone has their own ideas how it happens and we can all pretend like it happens the way we want it to.

aside from that, the fanservice in this game is absolutely insane. colony 9, the curry, the gem man, all the decendants from the characters from the first two games that we love, the music, hell even the references to xenosaga or xenoblade x!

i even got some of my personal, rather unrealistic fanservice wishes granted! seeing klaus's world and getting to walk around in it, even if it was just a few meters was insane. and seeing alvis again, even if his situation is rather complicated now... the mentions of pneuma and logos! all those things are just crazy.

i think my expectations for this game were too high and no matter what, monolith could've never met them. but i think that i can learn to love the things they gave us. even if it's not all that i wanted and more, i can learn to love all the things i did get instead!
