Finally finished. Very fun game, sick as fuck animations, great mech selection. Story was pretty cool even if I didn't know who tf 80% of the characters were and the new original characters were neat. 7.5/10

Gave this a fair shot till I couldn't anymore after 45 hours in. God I wanted to like this game but there's just so much that I just didn't like at all. For one the calendar system makes the game feel like an unnecessary drag considering it goes day by day and takes a while for it to get to the next plot point which leads to the plot itself. It feels like it goes nowhere for over half the game and takes forever to get anything interesting to happen. It wouldn't be such a problem if there was more things to do but there just isn't, it's either Tartarus (which itself is the worst dungeon of any video game that I ever had the displeasure of going to), raising your social stats which is a boring waste of time, or social links, good God social links. I don't hate the social link concept I think it's a good way to give life and build upon non-plot relevant characters, but the way Persona 3 does it kills any interest I have in doing them. Of the ones I did it was all just dialogue which is fine, but I would prefer if it lead to an extra dungeon or extra bosses (that aren't reskins) but nope, no other interesting bonuses other than exp for fusing. I also wasn't a huge fan of the "one more" system p3 introduces, it just feels like press turn but without any of the meat that makes press turn good, it isn't a bad system by any means it's just not that good in my opinion. And finally, the bosses/enemies. My God why oh WHY did they think it was a good idea to use reskins upon reskins upon reskins of enemies. I don't wanna see blob maya variant #27 I want to see something cool, and that cool is the full moon bosses which are all pushovers. Why couldn't they have the same difficulty as the tartarus bosses they have such interesting designs. I don't feel like getting into characters because I feel like I've said enough. I don't have much problem with the main cast I just find most of them uninteresting (looking at you fuuka). All these issues I had accumulated into killing any interest I had finishing this game, or ever bothering with persona 4 or 5. This ain't for me and I hope to never play it or think of it again until I inevitably get p4au once rollback drops.
This game was exactly what I was expecting, a hilariously edgy, wack ass story directing, absurd dialogue, grungy game from 2006 with gameplay from 2018. Which is to say I loved this game, I enjoyed every boss in this game and they were all so fun to fight. The job system is some of the best I've ever used in anything, combat is very smooth and fast-paced which keeps you on your toes. So much broken build potential that just makes me all giddy inside. And the grand finale was awesome I'm gonna play ff1 soon. However there are some things that I wish the game did better. For one the lighting on the environments, no idea why tf it's so dark. And I wish the environments had more to them other than "hey look it's X place from X game." The loot system is wiggity wack and gets annoying to get the stuff you want after a while. But overall this was a very enjoyable experience even if the dialogue is unintentionally memetastic. 8/10, we need more Frank Sinatra in games bro.
I really didn't like this one either, sure it plays better than Circle of the Moon but boy it managed to somehow be more boring. Two castles thing is meat in concept, unfortunately it's just terrible, why would I ever want to go through the exact same castle layout twice. It completely killed my sense of exploration for the game and I just wanted to finish it up. That's another thing, I didn't bother to get the true ending because I genuinely don't enjoy exploring this castle and I'm not gonna go look for Dracula's nutsack along with his other body parts. It also managed to make bosses go from hard and boring in CotM, to just boring and braindead easy. Ice Bible is great. Ost is hard on the ears and genuinely unpleasant most of the time. I wish to never think of this game again, except when I watch Maxim tas https://youtu.be/brSsTm_yz0U
Awesome game, challenging but not to the point of pure frustration, fun bosses for the most part. Dracula was EASY how he gonna let himself get stuck in a corner for the last phase lmao. This is something I'll revisit in the future.
If you were to ask me what is the most 5/10 game you have ever experienced my first pick would be this. Literally next to nothing remarkable about it and that includes the ost, nothing stuck out. Bosses were boring and has the most boring rendition of Death I've fought thus far, how you gonna do my boy like that. Not to mention Nathan's clunky ass, God why did they think having him move like that was a good idea? He runs like he has a turd ready to release dawg.
Order of Ecclesia was very fun, best part were the challenging asf bosses, I do wish they weren't so spongy but eh. Level design was much more linear than I'm used to and I thought it was fine for the most part, they could've combined some areas imo and add more exploration, especially since some levels were literally straight lines. Glyphs were nice to not rng grind for the ones I wanted, though I wish unions were more fleshed out than they were. Shanoa is hot, will revisit for Albus mode. 7.5/10
For the love of God get the definitive edition patch, makes so many unnecessary things better (looking at you magic seals). Aside from that, I'd put this game on par with Aria in pure terms of gameplay, fun asf and the fact that one weapon didn't dominate the whole game is neat. Great exploration, great movement tools. No idea wtf was up with the villains and characters lmao, especially hammer, he went from cool shopkeeper who had some interest in Yoko to "I want to fuck Yoko this instant" which is understandable but cmon man. Villains were dogshit good Lord. Great game regardless. 8/10

It's cool, love the atmosphere of the game. WAY too many weapons tho, most felt unnecessary or straight up useless. Final boss is a pushover compared to everything before him. Needs fast travel lmao. Still had a good time.
Fun, short, very fun gameplay and bosses. Overall awesome game, souls were neat for adding weapon variety and such, only complaint is the chances for getting souls was p low and made getting the ones I wanted a bit annoying. Other than that, great, love it.
Oh my goodness gracious it's some of the most fun I've had in any action game I've played, would've put 4.5 stars but the mission 19 boss is aids. Adding in the style switching along with access to every one of your weapons in the switch version made the game all the more fun trying to combo. Will definitely come back for more on the Vergil playthrough.
This was a fun game, bosses were the best part of this game along with the combat. Everything else however, leaves a lot to be desired. Many classic characters don't have as much as an appearance or relation to the story at all, most just introduce themselves, fight Ken, then dip. There's so much more they could've done but didn't and if it ever gets a sequel I hope they learn from what did and didn't work to make a much better game. The biggest crime this game made however is that there is no appearance of my goat Shuh. 6/10

Never would I have ever imagined myself playing a game such as this, much less ending up liking it. The anime CGs were great, characters were charming and memorable, and it's a good short experience to boot. I don't really have much else to say other than I wish the combat had a bit more meat to it since it's pretty meh. Kanna awesome 👍
Just what I wanted from Gunvlot 2, more Copen and more Copen did it deliver. Every EX weapon was fun to use and bosses gave a surprising yet welcoming amount of challenge that I wasn't expecting at first. Story exists and is nothing to look forward to if you're a fan of the previous games, there is one part near the end that's pretty good but other than that it's a fine game. Now to spend another 200 hours trying to S+ rank every stage, why do I do this to myself.

Absolutely incredible game, combat is a huge step up from the previous Judgment and every style is fun to use and found myself not relying on one too much unlike the previous game. Story is not as good as the last one, the build up to a huge national conspiracy came in too quickly which felt off. Game is still great despite the story flaw late into the game, highly recommend
