The pacing is abysmal.
You see the mourning actor's relay race and then you get a pretty epic cutscene...only followed for 90 minutes of Sporkle forma de la sexo backstory and Sampo' going "THE MASKSSSSS" and "we will meet to elate".
By the time you DO get to punch Sampo most of the tension is gone and you wasted 90 minutes.
Not to mention that by the next mask the Yae and Sparkle you met in this patch will be gone since you switched the mask (again), sure they'll retain their core backstory and personality but they won't know you, and most assuredly the patch is going to place heavy focus on how Robin also helped save Edo Star (before Blade powercreeps that and becomes the only and most important character in Edo Star).
The writing is ok to mediocre but the pacing is terrible and there's way too much filler, the patch with the least amount of filler is like Rappa's and EVEN THEN you have to play ninja with her in the Edo Banana Park for a bit, granted, that part serves to ground normalcy and displays the original mask but still.
Shaoji needs an editor.
