This review contains spoilers

I think the way it concludes the Cold Steel saga is really really good and its an amazing journey, but some of the bond events (Juna is the one that always sticks out to me) for some characters just suck and feel like they strip away the development them and Rean have had in their relationship over the course of the two games. Spoilers for Juna's i believe 2nd bond event where she confesses to you. Her confessing and saying she is in love with Rean seemed really out oc character for me because the way it was written and came across in CS3 was that she saw Rean as a mentor figure who she can aspire to be, while Lloyd was her Idol and who she modeled herself off of. I did not sense a single hint of romance between Juna and Rean in these games and suddenly out of left field shes saying shes always had a crush on Rean. It just didn't feel right. Overall really really really amazing game hampered by odd narrative decisions.
