pyresword 12/31/21 7:12:52 PM #8:	8.5/10 Meh. Certain individual arcs are easy 10/10 material, but they can only carry the game so far. The first arc is fantastic and ~~Kamoshida~~ is such a great villain--easily the best of the series. The conflict is personal, and he feels like a totally real and utterly vile character. Basically everything you could ask for in order to get me invested. Also, the content of palace 4 definitely makes my shortlist for best character arcs in video gaming, period. ~~Stories of healing~~ are pretty much always the best types of stories there are and this is a good one. Otherwise though, the individual arcs are...fine. (Except when they aren't--see palace 5) The overarching story is pretty weak, has problems with its structure, and goes out on a whimper. And the cast chemistry in this game is somewhat lacking in this game as compared to 3 and 4, which was what went a long way in making those games memorable. I do like the characters as individuals here, but it feels like there's something missing in the group dynamic, idk. --- I didn't do guru this year but azuarc can be in my sig anyways. <cite>pyresword posted [p:961367025] in Rate the V...
