Absolutely a slow starter, but over time I really connected with the characters. I found it moving overall and really enjoyed my time with the game.

a very comfy and pretty jrpg with a unique gameplay loop and some endearing characters (kokoro and uta were my personal favourites). unfortunately the otherwise interesting combat is undermined by how easy it is, and while i did enjoy a lot of it, the game overall felt a bit too slow and disjointed for me to enjoy it all, especially the stealth missions and certain tedious story/design elements.
