TRUE ENDING LINK: https://dai.ly/x7t2sxk

OH YEAH ONE LAST THING- SYLVANDO WAS GOOD FROM THE INITIAL TIME YOU CAN USE HIM UP BUT ALMOST IMMEDIATELY BECOMES A COMPLETELY WEAK FECKLESS USELESS CHARACTER ALL THE WAY TO THE END OF THE GAME- SAME FOR ERIK BUT HE TURNS OUT TO BE THE ABSOLUTE BEST FOR OFFENSE- JADE AND THE HENDRIK STAY TOP-TIER FOR A REALLY LONG TIME BUT BECOME DECENT AT THE VERY END (THAT IS IF YOU MAX-LEVEL!)

*FINAL UPDATE* WOW, IN PREPARATION FOR PERSONA 5 ROYAL (FAR BETTER GAME THAN THIS IN EVERY MEASURABLE WAY) I WANTED TO CLEAR THE RUNWAY AND THOUGHT I WOULD NOT COMPLETE THROUGH THE (TRUE ENDING) BUT MY GOODNESS: SOME SERIOUS OCD KICKED IN AND AFTER ~10 HOURS STRAIGHT, COMPLETED IT! BUT I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT WHILE THE 'TRUE FINAL BOSS' WAS FUN AND THE TRIAL BOSSES WERE FUN, THERE WAS A LOT OF REALLY UNACCEPTABLE STUFF INBETWEEN I.E MOST NOTABLY, ALTHOUGH OPTIONAL, THE CASINO (I ACTUALLY DID SOMETHING RARE CUTTING 99% OF THAT OUT) AND THAT WAS REALLY UNACCEPTABLY A BUILT-IN TIME WASTER
THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF FARMING EXP IS COMPLETELY UNDERMINED BY THE FACT THAT THERE REALLY IS ONE WAY TO MAXIMIZE EXP (OTHERWISE GET READY TO SPENT 40 HOURS ALONE ON IT) AND ONE THING I DIDN'T FIND OUT UNTIL LATER WAS THAT ZOOMING TO ARBORIAN HIGHLANDS AND USING THE PEP UPS THERE SEEM TO SPAWN THE GIANT METAL GOO (NOT THE SMALL 3 IN THE INITIAL PLACE) - THIS WOULD PROBABLY HAVE SAVED ME ~3-4 HOURS(!!) TRYING TO GET PEP UPS BECAUSE AT ARBORIAN HIGHLANDS THE TREASURE DROPS SEEM TO GIVE NOT ONE BUT TWO PEP UPS!
END-GAME MATERIAL USUALLY BRING UP THE SCORE IN MY EXPERIENCE BUT ALL-IN-ALL I'M GOING TO DO THE RARE THING OF ACTUALLY DOWNGRADING THE GAME TO A 6.8
I ALSO DIDN'T MENTION THIS BUT IT WAS UNAVOIDABLY OBVIOUS EARLY ON: IT'S A BITE-OFF OF ZELDA BUT ONE THING THEY SHOULD AT LEAST HAVE DONE IS NOT USE THE SAME BLAND BORING HEADACHE-INDUCING SOUNDTRACKS ON AN ENDLESS LOOP!
6.8/10 FINAL!
*UPDATE* OK GENERAL RULE IS WHEN AN RPG GOES ON FOR A LONG TIME THE STORYLINE (WHICH GENERALLY DOESN'T CARRY MUCH WEIGHT) STARTS TO BECOME MORE RELEVANT BECAUSE IF IT'S BORING AND RANDOM AS HELL CUTSCENES START TO BECOME A STRAIGHT-UP NUISANCE - A REALLY GOOD EXAMPLE OF WHEN IT WORKED OUT REALLY WELL WAS WITH PERSONA 5 WHICH WAS A VERY VERY LONG GAME; THIS THOUGH IS NOT THAT AND SO WHILE THERE WERE SOME AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT FROM THE BEGINNING THE STORYLINE FACTOR BRINGS IT BACK TO THE ORIGINAL 7.3!
GOT THIS COMPLETELY BECAUSE OF THE HYPE (~8.8) AND FOR ME PERSONALLY THIS DOES NOT LIVE UP TO IT (7.3):
NOTHING UNIQUE ABOUT THIS (UNLIKE ETERNAL SONATA) PARTICULARLY WHEN IT COMES TO COMBAT
MUSIC IS PAINFULLY REDUNDANT
SOME BOSS BATTLES ARE ALMOST LIKE AMBUSHES
LEARNED LATER ON THAT YOU CAN SWAP OUT FALLEN MEMBERS WITH CURRENT WHICH IS OK
NOTHING STANDS OUT!
