genuinely one of the most frustrating games i've ever played, story is super convoluted and the emotional beats albeit good are spoiled by the realization that they just could have made the game that good. the cast from xillia 1 seems to be set aside in favor of a lame self insert and i don't like being hit with 18 status ailments every combat. combats feel like they're DESIGNED to be annoying, unfortunately . debt mechanic sucks, though the premise was promising
