So far so good, the pacing is great, and the story flows nicely. I have to admit, it’s been a pleasant surprise. I’m also getting that SMTIV feeling again, where just wandering around feels enjoyable and not like a complete waste of time.
As for the characters, M:R is going the ME1 route just one solid male character after another, while the female characters feel completely sidelined. I mean Hulkenberg, Gallica and Brigitta are cool but they don’t seem to have that something that sparks interest. Maybe it’s for the best that the game doesn’t have romance, because the options wouldn’t be all that great anyway. I’d happily avoid having to choose between a bisexual blue alien girl and a bitchy American tsundere ever again.
Also my only complaint is
>the DDS looking woman hires you to investigate the mysterious kidnappings but she is totally not involved in it in some sort of people eating/cannibalism thing… no way…
As if it wasn’t painfully obvious from the very beginning. I don’t know why would Atlus design her this way.
