>>55922292>>55922455>>55925406Agreed, SV had a lot of fantastic qualities and the breakaway from the hallway style gameplay with 3 different stories to play at your own pace in an open environment is what puts it on top for me. I've wanted that sense of freedom all these years and got a taste of it with SwSh/PLA and didn't expect it to get better than zoned areas, but then SV delivered the entire region to access which was an amazing feature. I also like how many characters they balance well on top of that, where you can even learn more about non-focus characters like the teachers by taking their classes and getting close to them.
That being said, I kind of don't mind that there are people upset about it because upset people led to SV being as good as it is in the first place I imagine.
