[DarkMaster]

In the first few hours, I had no idea where I was (pulse or cocoon) or what was going on, why these characters were in that same place at the same time, was very confused. But a lot is being revealed now, especially the past events, and so the story is actually becoming interesting instead of bizarre.

I was watching my roommate play, he's very near the end of the game, and the battle system becomes batshit insane. looking forward to that.

thus far I have no problems with most of the characters, the exception being Vanille who is a ridiculous anime stereotype. People are dying and shit's going down, and she's just giggly and bubbly, I want Lightning or someone else to punch her in the face. Her "in the future narrative voice" sounds a lot more humble and mature, so maybe she changes a bit. Really hope so.
