Kinda decided to play this on a whim and what a PS2 ass video game. It really does feel like it exists to just set up the sequel in terms of it's story as you just sorta spreed through it all without any real explanation, but that's okay but the gameplay loop is simple and fun enough to make sure you don't notice too much. Soundtrack wise, I was grooving the whole time too. My only real complaints is the lack of clear objective direction sometimes and Leo being a whiney little baby but thats the PS2 for you.

Jehuty is a sick ass mech design though they were cooking with that
