Surprisingly fun games. I recommend anyone who are planning to play Eiyuden Hundred Heroes to play this first as a prologue to the universe. It done a lot of things right, but not without a few gripes, understandably.

+ Really fun game if you like 2D/2.5D side-scrolling game.
+ Introduced the universe of Eiyuden in a fun way.
+ Seeing the city progress felt satisfying.

- No voice acting.
- Towards the endgame, the grinding can become a tedious, and boring, activity. Felt like they overcooked the game for time-padding.

Amazing expansion to finish Persona 3 saga. It's way much better experience than when I was playing it on P3 FES back in the day. I wish this expansion was included in the P3 Reload to begin with.

Depression is real, chat. Easily my favorite Persona game. They brought the greatness of Persona 3 story and slap it on better game with better combat and everything.

A good game that is very close to Suikoden experience. I like the story and the gameplay in general. Although it's REALLY hard to say that I would recommend this game to other people due to so many downside to this game that really ruined my experience. Apparently someone got dropped as a baby and they created a horrible game design to ruin this supposed-to-be great game.

+ Closest game that you can get to Suikoden at core.
+ Decent story, if not generic.
+ Good soundtrack.
+ Great voice acting.
+ Nice art style.

- Everything is so painfully slow, as if it was designed this way to time-padding the game. Fighting animation, movement speed, field combat speed, even conversation bubbles, and many more.
- Duel is not as good, designed to be more cinematic rather than for gameplay. It works especially for the final part of the game, but it's redundant on the rest of the game.
- Field combat is horrendous. Slow speed, no tactical design whatsoever. Might as well have Suikoden 1 style combat as it was better.
- A vast array of game features are tied to RNG. Guild missions? RNG. Fishing? RNG. Eggfoot racing? RNG. Buying recipe? RNG. Work in Konami for far too long and all you know about game design is gambling.
- Horrible drop rate.
- Very bad at explaining game mechanics.
- Terrible mini-games. Most of them are pointless and serve only as time waster. The only good one is the card game .
- While everything in the game is extra-slow, somehow the dev decided to make the credits roll quickly. You'll barely have time to read the epilogues. So they know how to make something fast after all, albeit in the wrong section of the game.
- Poor English localization.

This game truly felt like a love letter made by video game fans for video game fans. They picked so many good aspect of great games before them and they just compiled it into one solid package. I think the longer your track record in video games, the more likely you will catch on to those aspects and appreciate it.
