This one HURTS to make. Now, I am a fan of the series. I have been since the first game. And honestly? Yeah, this is a good game. I like the story, however weirdly inconsistent it is (Seriously, I thought I missed a game when first going into this after GV2.), and I like the combat, even if the talismans tend to be janky at best and horrendous at worst. (Looking at you, Sunrise Palace 2.) So why is this negative...
