this game is pretty dumb but i had a good time. as i have since had confirmed, resonance of fate is a classic tri-ace game: it has really amazingly designed systems but couldn’t write itself out of a wet paper bag. it’s also like weirdly cruel and sexist to its only female protag in a way that i just don’t understand even a little. everyone is a cunt to her even though she is nothing but kind and helpful.
unfortunately this game has a case of too-fucking-long-and-not-enough-level-design-itis. i played for like 30 hours before it introduced a battle arena that wasn’t a flat box with some walls in it. really weird cos its battle system owns and is crying out for exciting level design.
if this game wasn’t written by a sexist toddler (and if it had even an ounce of pacing) it could probably be pretty good! oh well.
