This was an enjoyable time, and the story did make me almost cry at times. Shinji's death is something that to this day really gets to me, and I did find myself getting really upset when the main character died near the end. However, a good story doesn't fix my main issue with this game, Tartarus. It's so boring, and I just can't stand it. I used the fast forward function so many times on PPSSPP just to get a move on. I just wanted to keep doing my Social Links and Tartarus just kept going getting in the way. I loved all the characters. Yukari, Junpei, and Shinji are so great and the rest aren't bad either. I've yet to play the answer, but I have watched it, and I loved how they game built upon how the characters are dealing with the loss of their friend, especially Aegis. The movies are great too. I recommend watching all 4 of them. Imo, this game is only worth playing for its story. Everything else is just way to monotonous and dull to be worth experiencing. This 3.5 is really generous, but I didn't want to give a game that made me so emotional such a low relating. Watch a play through online honestly.
