This will be a game that will stick with me forever. I can't believe I didn't gave it a chance earlier on, but the turn based combat was a turn off for me. Boy was I wrong. This is a sci-fi masterpiece and an amazing story. I absolutely loved every single character and the way the story plays is just incredible. This is another one I would consider an essential one to play

I'm not a FF fan since I've only played 7 remake, but this was an amazing experience for me. The combat was superb, the story was incredible and I fell in love with the characters and their connections. Though I absolutely hated the ending, I didn't hate it for what it is but for what I would have loved to be the ending, but I respect the decision made.
The game is great, the gameplay is superb and the graphics are insane, but I just feel it didn't hit the mark quite like the first one, story wise. I felt the story a bit rushed and not as impactful, but it was pretty good nonetheless. The side quests were leaner in a good way and the mini games were less annoying for sure. And MJ being OP? I'm all in on that, not sorry at all.

For a first video game for Studio Sai, this is amazing. Though you can clearly see it's a budget indie and no sugar coating that it is rough around the edges, it has some really cool and inderesting ideas that I would absolutely love to see developed further in a future game. Its one of those games that if you consider it for what it is, it'll live in your memory for a long time. Hope we get something new from Studio Sai with more budget and expertise! We need more new cool ideas like this one

This game was incredible from beginning to the end. I never got to play the original so this was the perfect chance to jump into it and couldn't be happier about it. The gameplay is super tight, graphics are amazing and I feel the action/horror balance was pretty good, though I would have preferred a bit more horror but I understand how the original was actually more on the action side. To me, it's an essential game to play for any gamer
It's a shame that this is how Stinking Distance's career starts (and possibly ends) because there's so much potential. The graphics are insane and I feel they had cool ideas to work with, but the whole game feels rushed, the story doesn't have good pacing and the combat is mediocre. I had fun nonetheless but I feel that for the next Glenn Schofield game, I was expecting much more

This game has a special place in my heart. I don't know why but I absolutely connected with the characters, their relationships and I just felt like part of the Flower Division. The dating sim elements mixed with the rest of the gameplay were incredible and it just makes me sad that not a lot of games try more stuff like this. Really hoping for the next entry on Sakura Wars (please make it happen Sega, PLEASE)
Not quite sure why but I felt the openness of this one vs the linearity of the first one was actually a bit unnecessary and more harmful than benefitial, but I do recognize I seem to be the only one feeling that way about this game. Story-wise it was great, and loved how the stakes felt pretty real and the plot twists were great, but it feels just like what it is: the middle game in a trilogy. Not as good as the first, and the appetite opener for what's to come
