Quite possibly the closest thing to a "perfect" game you can get.
A complete experience with vastly improved combat, a thrilling story, an amazing cast, and fantastic music.
Note how I said it's the closest thing and not it is the perfect game, the game suffers from overwhelming the player with different content that's huge and it throws off otherwise great pacing. For example the resort and Kiryus personality stuff, while fantastic things, throw the pacing off and it takes a bit for it to get back on track alongside having dual parties with different levels that you have to constantly catch up to each other.
Pleasantly surprised by the more balanced approach to grinding for levels and equipment though, I was able to grind for both in under an hour any time I felt under leveled.
This is the greatest Turn Based JRPG to come out in a long while and I'm happy they stuck to it, I see no way to make a Kasuga focused Ryu Ga Gotoku game any better than what they have done here.
