8.2/10
Pretty good game, I like the gameplay here, the new system of break is fine since it can heavily bite you in the ass if it happens to you. Smash also pushes you back which can be nice when you need another enemy to kill them.
The music is fine. Nothing too special.
The story is straight up dogshit.
Every character there worships you like some god, every character there has barley any development and are completely one note, alear is a really lame, they barley have a personality and don't do anything to make me like them. My god the villains are even worse. They just monolouge their plans to the enemy for some stupid reason, the four hounds are really bad as well, all are pretty one note too. They also constantly do the "damn, I've been defeated. but I can't fall here, I must make my retreat" all the time. It takes the last few chapters to for them to be gone for good.
One of the characters from the group joins you because he wants to protect veyle, but you could've just done that and not joined the four hounds.
They try to do a emotional moment for the emblems and lumera but I dont give a flying fuck about them.
This story is an immense downgrade from three hopes and three houses.
This game can be just described as great gameplay, shit story.
