From the same creators of Neptunia series, this game does not disappoint when it comes to unique characters and amazing world building.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
the gameplay side of things its your pretty run of the mill jrpg with a few twist like most have. it has some light fan service with a pretty decent plot. as you can see with my time into it so far this game is a long one and i havent even gotten halfway through. from my understanding this game has nearly 80+ hours of content . my only complaint is that 1. at times it can be too long and obtuse but at the same times thats why it can be fun as well. and gameplay like all jrpgs is really grindy.

For the most part, the voice acting hit the right target even if some characters seem to lack enthusiasm.
