You'll spend more time completing the mystery of the 21-class leader than the story itself. Thoughts and prayers

HONESTLY!!! Ive been fairly biased towards this game... but its still really fun!! Like, its fun but OBJECTIVELY speaking its not that good. The problem is that it had really good baseline but it just didn't execute it that well... I don't think thats the best way to describe it but for example: The characters are really interesting HOWEVER their development (and how they live with/solve the issue with their life) feels rushed and incomplete sometimes not even resolving the character's development ending when the protagonist learns of their issue. Again this isn't that bad because the characters are geniuenly interesting and when their arc is actually pulled off well it's really cool just that most of the characters' often feel off. This isn't the only thing like this in the game... The main story can feel rushed too in a similar way and the way the characters act feels very off... The thing is that if you can look past things like this the game is very fun but not mentioning these just because you CAN look past them wouldnt be a very good review.... Although I haven't played it from what I hear the second game pretty much fixes those issues... The game does have other problems like the dungeon design being pretty repetitive in the later areas because HONESTLY the first 4 areas we're cool cuz there was like some degree of interactiveness with the dungeon with different objectives to do... after the library all the dungeons are pretty much just going to the end (unless you wanna count looking for two keys in the construction site). Other than that, there's the combat, which is a masterpiece probably up there with my favorite combat systems. Seriously, this combat is really good... Anyways, I really like the game. I do recommend you play it even with these shortcomings because its still honestly a great game that I find really fun, just expect things like this... Also this is the first time I've tried writing an honest to goodness review so like yknow fr fr fr....

This is peak video game. Don't be fooled, this isn't even close to a Persona clone. This takes inspiration from Persona and Danganronpa(kinda). It's probably not a game for everyone, since it's pretty challenging, especially the bosses.Speaking of bosses the final boss fight was so FUCKIN' awesome. But if you like Persona, buy this on the spot. Peak JRPG,Good Story(sometimes mediocre), the developers cooked well.

Get this game if you want a JRPG with unique battle system, amazing character design, lovable cast of characters (even the antagonists!) and banger OSTs. There are a some downsides that I encountered, such as stiff animations, repetitive dungeon design and I feel like some of the story lacks the resolution that it deserve. My mind has been occupied by this game for weeks now, you can say it's all the effect of overdosing on caligula, heh.

Bought this on sale with no clue what it was and was pleasantly surprised by how interesting the cast and story were. JRPG with the premise of what if The Matrix was run by Vocaloids The battle system is... ok. It incentives juggling enemies to not allow them to get their turns but the lack of a battle timeline scrub control makes it far more time consuming that it should be. MC stat improvements outside of levels is tied to the Causality Link which is a sidequest tree. Cool the first few times you try it, but with how much the sidequests repeat, gets really tedious. I'd honestly recommend this game at lowest difficulty just to be able to speed along the story because that really is where it shines.
