Man, do I love this game.

Resonance of Fate has a unique and engaging battle system, incredible gun customization, great characters, great music, great voice acting (especially Nolan North) - all wrapped up with a story that seems pretty convoluted on a first playthrough (but still manages to be interesting). However, the story makes much more sense in NG+, and it's good enough that it sticks with you and makes you think about some of its implications.

I've played through this game three times over the years (well, six, if you count all the NG+s immediately after finishing), and each time I still watch all the cutscenes.

My only gripe about this edition is whatever the heck they did with the subtitles - half of them put the text in quotes (""), while the other half don't - often in the same conversation! It's really the only part of this game that is inferior to the PS3/360 versions, and I hate that it hasn't been fixed. It's incredibly distracting, and one of the only black spots on a game I really like.
