This game main problem is a lack of identity for being extremely derivative of xenogears and xenosaga, reusing story bits and plot lines of those games but lacking the detail of what made those stories so compelling and not going far enough in certain areas and character writing, gameplay wise the game is both an improvement and recession due to on the good side removing some of xb2 worst mechanics (gacha and field skills) but combat wise the return of cooldowns makes this game combat feel so frustrating at points, still the game still manages to touch on the importance of the time we have and how people should be free using as they see fit
