>>712937712The game would be a mess if you could skip the prologue since every action Takumi takes afterwards is based on what he learns from the prologue for better or for worse.
>>712937927The combat is alright and at least fun to cheese waves in one turn, though it becomes less relevant after the first run when you get the option to skip repeat battles. The story and different choices/routes are definitely the main selling point.
>>712938216I disagree, I'd say the writing gets to shine since characters don't just die in the middle of their arcs and (almost) every character gets to shine and give you a reason to care about them unlike Dangan where half of the cast is just fodder for a murder case.
