I did like the game, but the section between battles became a chore real quick. Each and every time you go back to the school you want to hunt down all the new items that appear, and there are so many places you are visiting time and time again, it just makes the game drag out way longer than it should.
Still fun though.
Yes, you are right.
And since you mention it is super cool despite everything, the stories behind each character is the best. :D
Thanks for reading me, a hug.
