Hmm, I don’t think it’s fair for me to say to be honest! I’ve only watched playthroughs, and watching isn’t the same as playing (though the playthrough I recently started is a lot more detailed than the one I watched in the past, so maybe that’ll give me a better idea of the gameplay). The way it looks, I don’t think I’d personally be a fan, but again, I haven’t played it so I can’t say for sure. I liked EXE’s style of playing, and I am a fan of RPGs, so who knows! Maybe it would be fun.
(tbh, I think CM would’ve been better if it didn’t suffer from the “neutral face during an important / heartfelt cutscene” syndrome, but X7/X8 had that problem too)
