THIS IS WRITTEN PRE I.V. OVERHAUL UPDATE
I took my time to think about my rating on YIIK cuz I wanted to see if my opinion would change a week after beating the game and nah...I just get more disappointed.
Whenever I listen to the soundtrack I just remember the game and end up feeling unfulfilled like I have not beaten the game yet, the ending was just THAT empty and unsatisfying I hate it, the game was getting good when I met and got into The Essentia 2000's mind, it was AWESOME the boss fight with Yuzu seeing all the cool characters in her mind, I was really happy and started liking the game but it completely ruined it when in the end game the reveal was it was all a lie Essentia made up all the stuff she told me so she can get her own way of destroying the world or some dumb motive. I don't care enough to try and remember and piece stuff together cuz YIIK is just like that to me, nothingness.
Only characters I like are Claudio, Chondra and Michael and they barely get any meaningful story about them compared to Vella, Rory (i HATE Rory) and Essentia.
I am disappointed with the game but I am confident that the I.V. update will fix most of my issues with the ending, character writing and combat but for now the game just is yiikingly disappointing (It took me over a year to beat by the way)

and just because a game has lots of effort and love and care put into it doesn't make it good, if the end result is bad then it's bad no matter what the process of working on the game was like.
I am going to replay the game once I.V. comes out but I better not be disappointed esp since YIIK fans glorify this game when its at most a generous 2/5 game
