Gameplay-wise it's the strongest entry in the series. I really missed Liberation Missions, but everything else in the game is amazing. The story is cool, changing most of the side characters was a good move, as they got boring after 5 games. Classic MMBN filler is still here, but there's just so much content here that it's barely noticeable. CrossSoul is much better than DoubleSoul as a mechanic, and Beastcross enhances it even more. PvP is also at its best here.
