This was a huge improvement over the last couple games in almost every regard and pretty fun and better paced. It kinda gets to be more than the sum of its parts, but it would've done a lot more for me if the basic battle theme had more variation. I liked the low-key soundtrack and acid jazz stuff here and there but it really needed more life sometimes. The back third of this game fucking kicked it up a notch so it's forgiveable but the middle was a bit bland after a really cool intro. I also would've liked just a bit more flavor in the battle system but from where we came from I'm just happy it's as good as it is.

I'm happy I can now but KOS-MOS merch and assert my status that "Yeah. I really did play those games. They're kinda bad but 3 kinda owns." And avoid 'poser' status.
