1 year later huh? Well I did my complaining, so here’s what I love about this game.
Da’at is absolutely stunning. The most beautiful overworld in any JRPG and the key reason why I think SMTV is the best looking Switch exclusive. The soundtrack is out of this world good even for MegaTen standards as well as the sound design. Exploration is a lot of fun too what with Da’at being so beautiful and jumping actually being useful unlike with most other JRPGs that have it. Combat oh my god it’s so good. Still wish that physical skills used hp (OK final complaint) but it is so satisfying to release a magatsuhi skill to REALLY turn the tides of battle. The writing for the demon negotiations was so entertaining. Even if there are reused negotiations a lot the incredible sound and character design still gives off enough personality to make these demons so memorable from the ever iconic to the completely new ones. Essence fusion is such an awesome new layer to customization by allowing not only skills to be given, but in the Nahobino’s case, even skill proficiencies. This game just rocks honestly. May not be the best in the series, but there’s still so much to love here.
