Oi, if you plan on reading this whole thing, there's spoilers

this is the best game i've probably ever played
there's nothing i hate about it (except hydras, ♥♥♥♥ hydras) and absolutely adore how the removal of MP was handled. the story at the beginning is pretty simple at first sight, but by the end, so many secrets point out to the bigger picture that by the end, it all made sense. it makes you think "oh, it's a glitch, a fun little 4th wall break". by the end? guess what, that's part of the plot. i adore all of the characters that all have a use in battle, having no character be left out (except NoLegs in the offense field, because he's better with lower health enemies, which limits him as mostly support with 9 lives and sushi cat). my only gripe with them is that most of the character development happens in the optional dungeons and the end of the game, but the character interactions (even if it's scattered between a lot of one off quips and characters describing their surroundings) are absolute gold
while i didn't 100% my first save file, it's not because i didn't feel like it, it's because there's just SO MUCH TO DO, and i even did all the side-missions (not the holidays ones, except christmas, got the game around then). the Final boss has the coolest "ultimate" attack i've ever seen in any game, oh excuse me, he has 2 OF THE COOLEST ATTACKS I'VE EVER SEEN. he's just that, a final boss, but he has so much presence for the while he appears
After the end there's only one thing that lingers in my mind. and that's that i SERIOUSLY WANT AN EBF6, but it's hard to put in the plot, but ehhhh, i'm not a game designer.

The end-score is 11 out of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 10. this game is now in my top 3 of all time, and i cannot wait to see what this series holds in the future.
Thank you Matt Roszak. you are a blessing in an age where it seems that the world only has bad news
