boring f2p shlock im afraid
you get exactly what you came to the base game for. adds some cool new battle options, new environments with a lot of boss spectacle to go around. its more final fantasy 16 from start to finish and that is Pretty Good (except when it isn't)
shelved due to crashing on startup all of a sudden. a lot more going on than i thought (in a bad way!) because of all these weird dating sim/AAA bloaty elements that are just kind of ridiculous to interact with. also i hate iron man's voice and performance why does he sound like a shitty sitcom cop its so grating!!!!!

its a cute game with a lot of charm, but i feel like the amount of money pouring out of it kind of backfired. there's a bunch of little things you can spend your time paying attention to and the systems fall short enough that you get burnt out before seeing most of them through. i was here for the restaurant management and it was kinda fun, but that was a very small piece of an overly large game.
completely taken aback by everything this game is, especially after remake left me a little hollow with its bland side content and seemingly unmeaningful expansions to the middle parts of the story. rebirth is like, everything remake couldve been and more.
rebirth is probably the biggest game ive played that generally feels like it earned my time and more. i loved every second of the huge world and all the cool little distractions they throw at you. the combat is the same as remake but even more expanded on. the side quests are generally excellent this time around, opting to make interactions with specific members the main part of these stories with a ton of charm added on to the questgivers. the party is of course the best part of the game, all the banter and interactions are the best and i treasure everyone in this game more than i ever have before. the massive surge of minigames adds a ton levity and Soul to the world and i had fun with all of them, even if some are Pretty Bad. its the most PS1 move a PS1 game remake can do.
the ending makes me feel the same as remake in that i'll have brainworms thinking about it until we finally get closure in a very long time. just a lot of cool stuff to sit on, its fun to be excited about a game like this.

absolutely incredible. ichiban continues to be one of the most wonderful characters in all fiction, and the vibe of this journey is just so fun and engrossing to play from start to finish. the ending especially man... when the god damn sheena ringo song started playing i had chills up until i was back at the main menu again. beautiful story these games fill my heart

games good but i started too soon before the sequel i will just play that since its becoming more apparent its a replacement
this game ended up being a lot more work to get into than i have time for atm... its incredibly charming and im a fan of so much it has going on but i am definitely not in the "old mmo" headspace right now
super fantastic. wonderful variety of weapons and builds that let you rip and tear through satisfyingly bite sized levels that culminate in some crazy boss fights. im definitely coming back for the other endings
i really like this game a lot. very unique gameplay loop especially on the scale of a AAA game. i also love this vibe for a "pandemic" game that originally came out pre-pandemic and continually works in themes of connectedness with both the story and gameplay that feel incredibly well thought out.

only marking as played for now as i just finished act 2 and its still early access but this is easily one of the best games ever made
