Like many others, this patch pushed me to try out this game for the first time.

Coming from Battle Network, this game feels unusual, but it has its own unique charms. It certainly retains the usual writing charms I love the EXE series for, and the battle system has its own interesting takes that keep battles interesting. The game adds plenty of QoL changes compared to EXE and I'm grateful for that.
Overall, I enjoyed my playthrough, and I do plan on playing the next two games at some point in the future.
