An overrated fanfiction disaster that quickly falls apart after the tutorial palace.
Characters are undercooked have little to no chemistry with each other, annoying to poorly written.
The story writing is just pathetically hamfisted and lazy.
Has no idea to handle sensitive themes in the slightest.
The Thrid Semester feels like really bad fanfiction that felt it was written by a 12 year old.
The definition of style over substance and I don't like that.
Just play Persona 3 and 4 instead of this hamfisted flashy fanfiction.

The weakest Trails games in terms of writing and pacing.
It's a rough game to get through, but it isn't as horrid as many people say it is.
It has fantastic moments and great ideas which were nicely executed.
I just wish the second half was cut down in half by removing all the filler in Act 2.
Thank for high speed mode for the PS4 versions.

Mediocrity like this are the reason why many gamers label the 7th generation of gaming the worst in terms of variety.
I like my fair share of FPS/TPS games, but the 7th generation is plagued with too many mediocre and Homerfront is one of the worst of it's kind.
4 hours long.
Subpar visuals
Uninspired lazily written story
Borderline nothing character.
Squeal bait ending that barely meant anything in a long run.
Just avoid this game at all cost, unless you want to experience how bad and lazy 7th gen shooters can be.

I loved Fairy Fencer F Advert Dark Force (My favourite Compile Hearts game), but this spinoff/squeal hybrid is a frustratingly disappointing poorly constructed mess of a game that lacks purpose, charm and substance.
SJRPG combat is dreadful as it's the same enemies models over and over even when their change colour at times.
Terrible leveling up progression where you can only level up, by performing actions during fights, resulting the game to be a aimless grindfeast.
Barely any strategy to the combat, most sub fairys are worthless to your arsenal.
Story and characters, one of the best aspects of Advert Dark Force, is a drastic downgrade.
The story feels like a uninspired fanfiction of it's former self and the writing took a major hit, causing plot holes and various bad writing that barely existed in Advert Dark Force.
While it's was great to see the Fairy Fencer F cast again, they were done dirty here.
Many of them are given nothing to do and they just along for the ride with barely any substance.
The new characters are all terribly written and bland as rocks.
The graphics, when it comes to combat is embarrassing bad especially on PS5.
Ugly, janky and unpolished across the board.
In conclusion, Fairy Fencer F Refrain Chord is a boring waste of time and a awful followup to the underrated Fairy Fencer F Advert Dark Force.
I may not a fan of Compile Hearts games are they filled with meandering plots, poorly executed ideas and repetitive gameplay/asset reuse, (barring the aforementioned Fairy Fencer F Advert Dark Force, which did a good job at avoiding many of those issues), but this alongside Neptunia Sister vs Sisters, have reached a new pathetic low.
They are the LJN of the JRPG gaming industry.
It's frankly baffling that this poorly produced game that has no English Dub was sold on PS5 for £50.
One of the worst JRPG games of 2023 by far.
You done f* it up!!!

While not as consistently funny and well written as Fairy Fencer F, Megadimeion Neptunia is still a nicely well crafted game that's fun and memorable to play.
That's saying a lot given how much Compile Hearts have fallen since 2017 onwards.
Well defined and memorable characters especially Uzume.
A soildly written storyline.
Decent visuals.
Good gameplay if a bit grindy and punishing at times.
Amazing sci-fi futuristic soundtrack.
Overall an exceptionally great and game to the PS4/PS5 library of JRPGs.
