Whether you start with this or Automata - everyone should experience them both.
This game is the definition of a flawed masterpiece. On one hand, the gameplay is very mediocre, and becomes very boring when you replay the game, which you have to to get all endings. It also feels like the game just doesn't respect your time sometimes with all the running around and repitition you have to do. On the other hand, the story really does hit different. Route B had me in tears at multiple points. Route E is actually the perfect way to end the game, since it's all new content which feels really good after replaying the game 2 times, and the ending is just so satisfying. In the end I thought sticking through the sometimes boring gameplay was worth it, and I don't regret a minute I spent playing this game. Can't wait to play Automata next.
Music and story so good
Kainé is freaking awesome

One of the best JRPGs I have ever played. The gameplay can be a bit repetitive, but makes up for it with the well written characters, brilliant music by Keiichi Okabe and the plot is tragic, engaging and memorable.
時隔兩年終於全成就了,好玩,但多周目太無聊,全武器升級材料也超難刷
Played this back in the day because i was a big drakengard fan. put it down after 2 hours because i thought it was boring. I sure was stupid, this is one of the best games ever. one of those experiences that really only could be a video game. a genuine masterwork
10/10 + 顶级的音乐和美术 + 剧情封神,我心目中最震撼的游戏剧情,没有之一 + 人设不错,主角团每个人都塑造的很好,很喜欢凯宁 + 重置版增加了好结局,心满意足 - 重复度过高,真结局需要打多周目,过程枯燥 - 战斗系统深度不够,但还算爽快 - BOSS战走过场,没挑战性
