to be honest the more i sit with it the more i dislike it. the meta world stuff is cool and i love lambda bern and lion but most of the game really does nothing for me. i get what ryukishi was going for but i find it to be incredibly anticlimactic and disappointing in all honesty. when its good its really good though and it has some fantastic character writing so that brings its rating up a bit. it excels as a collection of character studies but fails absolutely miserably as a cohesive story to me
