Good
- combat is unique. Charging attacks and timing them one after the other to build up an ultimate move feels great. The variety of moves gives depth to the combat in general.
- they brought back the custom level adjusting which gives players a lot of control over how hard they want their experience to be, which is great.
- the story and characters were very well written. The dialogue was very hip, and full of present day online references. I also liked how the characters weren't afraid to throw some curse words around. It felt more organic especially for the more hot headed characters. This should be adapted in more games.
- the music tracks were of course phenomenal as always, and played at the right time to inflict the most emotional impact.
- I liked how they brought back the old characters slowly one by one, keeping me drawn in to want to know who will appear next.
- voice acting was very well done.
- i'm glad i can buy clothing even if my style isn't high enough, and still get the base stats.
Bad
- the last ultimate move the game gave me was a little bit too OP. It was super powerful and refilled my health every use.
- the hub world got way to repetitive. As well as the progression outside of combat. Felt like I was just trying to get from point A to point B, wait for some dialogue, then repeat. I can only handle so much going back in time. Eating at restaurants was only able to give a tiny bit of variety when traversing the hub world.
- there were points where I felt they dragged a story event on for too long.
