44. Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE (2019) - Switch

There's a lot about this game that's really competent. The battle system's fun, the skill system's cool (though there are too many skills, IMO). Lots of refined systems that feel good. The dungeons are solid, though some of them get a little long. The most impressive thing about it are the crazy production values. There's SO much unique content. Sidequests will have fully animated cutscenes. Moves in battle will have crazy long animations (that are skippable). It feels like the biggest budget game Atlus has made, even compared to P5 or SMT5... which is sad, since the core of the game isn't that great. I don't like most of the characters much (though I don't dislike them). Kiria and Yashiro are solid, but Kiria's sidequests suck. The focus on the idol industry isn't super my thing either, though it's executed competently enough. It's a shame all the good things in here weren't applied to a game with better writing. Easily the worst SMT game I played in 2021.

Next game hint: the second Zelda-like in three games? Oh my!
