Really great game, loved all the characters even though Amarant is just kinda there. The story for this was very classic feeling and that was great, the last 2 discs picked up the story a lot and the game went on to tell a great message about living life to its fullest.
Before everything gets explained though, the story is all over the place and probably doing too much. A lot of great locations and incredible artwork especially for the PS1 but even with this, the set pieces and motivations are a bit hard to follow until the very end. End portion was great if not slightly overrated.
Gameplay can be a bit slow and a lot of the cool features rely on grinding so I was a big fan of the pause menu cheats that helped speed up the process a lot. Still an old game however so shoutout to that one IGN guide I had to read cause I kept getting lost at the end.
Good JRPG, 8.5/10

It's not quite 0 but somehow i ended up enjoying this game's combat system a lot more with the XP system. Majima Everywhere is amazing. The story itself is really good, bit condensed and felt like everything happened really fast, which I guess is expected after coming straight from 0. There was a lot of death in this one, I guess I'll find out what they were cooking with that in kiwami 2.
Only real thing holding it back is the god awful boss design.
