So in case it wasn't obvious, the game is a massive cashgrab.

Disclaimer: While I didn't clear the "story" (develop 50 characters, very easy and boring), I did complete Floor 200 of the Tower of Despair which is good enough for me to count it beat since that's way harder.

It rehashes the Talent Development Plan minigame from V3 and the other part (but without the dungeons) so there's a metric fuckton of grinding, moreso than any other game this decade. (how fitting it's DR's 10th anniversarry game, but now this is more grindy than DR1's bonus modes too) grinding for cards, grinding for craft items, grinding grinding grinding. And then you'll have to rebuild characters you've already built. Horrible!

The character interactions are fun, the only redeeming factor (even if the annoying nuisance characters like Tenko are still annoying nuisances) and most importantly Tsumugi is in it. I got her WR but not her U so I can't even see all her scenes, which fills me with despair, but I like Tsumugi a lot so that's why the game has 1.5 stars rather than 1.
