Opening the chests gave me some really good SNES jrpg feelings. Good time.
All action RPGs should rip off the damage scaling that Kingdom Hearts 2 had. The combat in this game can be pretty fun if you just rush through the story and keep the enemies within 3 levels of you. But if you're a bit too underleveled its nothing but chip damage. A bit too overleveled and everything dies before they even have a chance to register your presence.
Good for Taro getting to include lots of actual cool SHMUP sections throughout the game. He loves SHMUP. Just a shame that they made the SHMUP sections so easy that they become busywork. SHMUPs are usually challenging. Almost unforgiving. And Nier Automata taught me that they're probably built like that because otherwise theres nothing to them.
Story is fine. 9S is one of my favorite characters of the this gen.
