>>5541989>>5542003I'm enjoying the animations and the core gameplay so far, but it's definitely a step back from Three Houses in terms of story and character design, which even then I don't think is anywhere near the top of the series. TH could at times suffer from characters that were overly cliché or just plain boring, but so far I've yet to encounter a character that I could force myself to care about in this game. Even the supports seem shorter and way less impactful. Everyone is some degree of friendly helpful person. It makes me long for even just a glimmer of a Felix, which would feel like a refreshing take at this point.
