I think my main issue is individual fights take awhile, and that since you can only heal with items or dying (to my knowledge) it means the normal route makes you feel like wasting resources is really bad.
also while i still have the chance, just wanna say i really like the bad ending. Mezz looks super cute in eyeliner and with gauges. Really big fan of seeing proud characters turned into effeminate sluts. Super hot.
Ha, no problem. It's partially my fault: I hate games that over-explain, so everything is kind of left up to the player to discover. I think that makes for a better game overall, but it does mean people miss things sometimes.
