Managed to finish this before it came off on Game Pass and holy shit, what a truly incredible game. This is a new all-timer for me, hell, I felt this would be an all-timer as far back as Kanoshida. The fact the game manages to make both the dungeon crawling aspect of the game and the social life aspect work so well together, meaning I never get bored of either playstyle.

The plot is insane, starting out simple but soon diving in government conspiracies to even fucking biblical battles with gods and yet it never forgets it's true heart in friendship of others and standing up for what's right. It's that heart that really makes the story something special.

For the record, I apparently got the original game's true ending meaning I didn't get to do the third semester that came with Royal. But honestly, that makes me want to go back and play the game even more. I was actually really happy with the ending I got though it still left some things unanswered (aka, Kasumi's whole deal). That would've been a big criticism but honestly I think I can give the game the benefit of the doubt and hope those questions get answered when I next play.

Absolutely fantastic game. Between this and New Vegas, I truly am sampling the best-of-the-best when it comes the RPG genre!
