An interesting game, and one of the few pieces of media outside of books I've seen that lays out the ideas of Buddhism / Schopenhauerian pessimism in a coherent manner. The story is overrated af though and I never really got that attached to the charachters, but seeing them "wake up" and realize how absurd their entire situation is is pretty cool to see. The game play is great and I loved grinding out those mantras and being able to customize my part as I saw fit, and while the reduction in party size is pretty annoying at first having 3 part members actually forces you to use the press turn system to your advantage which wasnt really the case in Nocturne. I just wish the game was a little harder or atleast had a hard mode because the mechanics are good I just never really had to think about how I needed to use them to my advantage to the extent of Nocturne
