Experiencing 13 Sentinels - Aegis Rim: A beautiful, limited game.
A compelling story at a not-so-compelling price.
C
Experiencing Trails of Cold Steel IV: Mechanically brilliant, but failed to take risks with the characters.
Mechanically brilliant, but too "safe" and lacking in voice acting.
D+
Dragon Quest IX (9): Clearly, they were spent after the greatness that was Dragon Quest VIII (PS2).
Lacks strong emotional storytelling; leans on nonsense quests.
B-
Bravely Second: I never realized just how short this was.
I couldn't understand why so many of the series' fans didn't like Second (and still don't).
C+
Bravely Default: Good story, unique engine, mashed like Play-Doh instead of sculpted to fine art.
Unique for its time. Frustrating at points.
D+
Revisiting Star Ocean - Till The End Of Time(3): "BUT....!"
I figured I would give this game another shot. I regret that decision.
