A polished, story-heavy JRPG with turn-based battles and mech summons, weaving together a sprawling cast and a war-weary atmosphere.

What players say

Players are split on this finale to the Cold Steel arc. Some enjoy the long-running story and character moments, especially for NPCs. Many others say the ending is disappointing, the writing relies on deus ex machina and the 'power of friendship', and the game does not respect the player's time.
