Honestly very mixed on this one. did not like the new character at first but warmed up to him, the combat is just... fine, the biggest killer for me though is the pacing. there were entire sections of the story i was just not invested in (like literally anything to do with haruka) those sections of the game left me so burnt out i just randomly put the game down for an entire year and just recently picked it back up. im glad i finished it. even though the final boss having that many health bars is actually ridiculous.
