How is the story / characters?

[Kreddi]

I'm not too big on a lot of the tropes in shounen anime, specifically the archetypes for characters or the way the audience is treated like a big idiot.
Does this game differ from that?
If the story doesn't catch me right, would you say you could play the game solely for the gameplay?

Story is very good and gameplay is superfun, just play and you will see :)

in short: people live in the huge elevator and praying it's mechanic core as God

the story was whatever. i disliked most jarpig casts but i liked the characters here.

yes, it's not a narrative heavy game and has enough gameplay to carry itself.

The story is slice of life centered. It start in an weird world, doesn't explain much and finish wish some weird unfinished conclusion. It's an awesome game! 10 out of 10!

There is a seraphic gate like dungeon in this game as well

[Apoc]

The story is an interesting mix of seriousness with comedic moments and, like id just mentionned, kind of episodic slice of life with the main story advancing a bit at a time through each chapter.

Gameplay wise it's one of the most unique battle system in a jrpg. Complex and hard to master but a lot of fun when you do.

The gameplay is fairly unique and has a lot of mechanics you wont find (in that form) in other jRPGs, nevermind games in general. It's definately worth playing for the gameplay.

That aside: shounen anime has a lot of tropes you wont really find in most jRPGs, if only because jRPGs tend to be more 'mature' when it comes to characters/story. This game is no exception to that.

Don't forget the awesome very acurate real life weapon customization system! https://i.imgur.com/KVenhtH.jpg

Bad Story!
Fibricating a world is easy while Making the story reasonable difficult.
There are so much controdictions.

What contradictions? In the first 5 chapters atleast there's very little information on both world and characters. I think its amazing you can find contradictions in there, and even more so ''much contradictions''
