While I still really enjoy this game, my replay really put into perspective the issues this game has. I adore the story and Nishiki is a fantastic villain, but I think the added cutscenes coulda been implemented better. Also holy shit were the boss fights ALWAYS this bad?? I obviously remember the elephant in the room (Jingu) but Nishiki was the only fight I loved this entire game. Anyway ya, still really good. Just on the weaker end of the series.
