One of the coolest settings I've seen for a game, love the world and lore. The characters are fun, if a little trope-y, but that's just JRPGs as a whole, and the combat is great. I wish they'd make more with this IP, it feels like there's still a lot of untapped potential games here.

Story was alright, dont let the comments effect you too much. There is a spoiler reason why so many things were going haywire. Everything was fun and story ended nice enough without loose ends. You need to play as both characters if you want to know everything though, it doesnt take long with the ng+ so thats nice.

I really liked this game. Overall I thought the story was decent but the character writing… could’ve been better… The combat and gameplay were great, and soundtrack was fire. It’s the best bamco game that doesn’t have “Tales of” in the title or was developed by Fromsoftware. It’s def a step in the right direction for them.

I came across this game from a "top5 underrated JRPGs ever" YouTube video and, to be frank, I am glad I spent 10 minutes watching that video simply because scarlet nexus was probably one of the best games I've played this year. Although I love the characters except Shinden , the story, and the general gameplay, I cannot simply ignore how much better the cutscenes could've been. To be honest, following the "nothing is perfect" philosophy, the cutscenes of this game are what makes that statement true, since they are nothing but a PowerPoint slideshow with voice over. Fortunately, they are some actually animated cutscenes on the most important moments which served to demonstrate how talented the team was behind the game, I dunno if it was some cost saving method or anything, but this is the only flaw I can pin point. The story is totally worth it nonetheless, I played as both characters and managed to get all the achievements of the game with minimal effort. The 2 POVs story format worked wonderfully and after finishing my first playthrough as Kasane, it wasn't long before I was doing my Yuito New Game +. I loved to get a more in depth look into each character’s minds and understand their thoughts, I wasn't expecting that level of detail from a game like this and it seriously boosted my enjoyment. I don't have much else to say, other than I fully recommend this game.
