Clearly the most ambitious game in the series. Loved every of the fives part, each character's "side story" was fun and felt appropriate for them.
The game is v e r y generous in terms of different activites and gameplays and overall content, but on the other side it feels a bit rough on the edges and unpolished at times.
Story-wise, I was emotionally very involved. The theme of dreams hits close to home and was very well handled, from Shinada's own little independant story, to Kiryu and Haruka whom I've been following for years ingame now. (A bit sad that Akiyama doesn't really get developement and acts more as support for Haruka's story)
The more I progress through the series, the more I realize how great 0 was, and how good it must feel to play it now after 5 instead of starting with it.
