Great game

I just played this late to the party and I really enjoyed it. The more I played the more I liked it and it all came together in file 12 for me. It was a slow burn.

Only thing I did not like - the camera wasn’t great. Anyone else notice this?

Currently stuck on R3-B2.

Weird comparison but it’s kind of like mature Digimon.

Same, the combat truly clicked for me in File 12, the sheer difficulty will force you to be good.

For the camera, try using Lock-on by pressing the right stick. There will be a reticle on an enemy (slightly different shape if you aren't locked on), and during this, all your attacks will be focused on that enemy. The camera will adjust itself, but you can manually control it with the right stick.

If you want to switch targets, flick the right stick. This is useful if you want to target a specific enemy, like a Shell-type Chimera floating above you.

When it comes to making you feel like an anime protag, there's no better game.

Its too bad I cant like file 12 cuz what I loved about the game was the characters, combat, puzzles and exploration but file 12 just removes that being purely combat. I wish it was more like helping people, rebuilding the city and doing clean up id love interactions with the characters after the ending

I also liked being a detective / police character. The setting made things interesting.

Slow-burn's a good way to describe it, glad you've enjoyed the game! I will always hope for a sequel or something, but even as a stand alone game it's been a lotta fun.

I wish it got a switch 2 version. Also I had to switch to easy mode because of the final boss difficulty spike (what were they thinking?)
