The only truly mid game in the series. The story is a snoozefest with some great parts but man it really just didn't need to exist. Sotenbori is barely used and I think the devs forgot that the battle system was made with 1 on 1 fights in mind because holy shit it feels like the enemies come in far bigger bunches and have an aggression meter turned up to the point where some fights are simply not enjoyable. Ryusho is a bro though.
