CS 1 : Okay, the whole game I want people to talk! Like, IF YOU'D HAVE SAID THAT EARLIER WE WOULDN'T HAD TO DO THAT SH*T! And I hated that to 100% the game, you need a guide, otherwise you'll miss out of most of the hidden quests. The cliffhanger got me good.
CS 2 : LET'S FILL THE LAST DUNGEON WITH ONLY BOSSES (If I remember correctly, but I remember being pissed). And the ridiculous HP of each and every boss, I wish I played this on east mode cuz I'm just here for the story and turn based isn't exactly fun for me, when boss has over 100k health and you have a little over 10k health. BEFORE I FORGET WHY THE F ARE THE BLACK RECORDS LOCKED BEHIND NG+? IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF LITERATURE!
CS 3 : Loved the graphics upgrade. (They might've changed their engine?) There are no so called hidden quests, you can S rank every chapter. Which I loved. The music, the ambiance, everything was so fresh and great. Probably the best game in the series. Although every chapter follows the same, WE'RE F*CKED -> OLD CLASS 7 ARRIVING TO SAVE THE DAY again and again. A more ridiculous cliffhanger than CS 1. But you still need a guide if you want to 100% complete the game.
CS 4 : Oh, boy this is where the problems started. Act 2-3 I dropped the game a lot, basically slogging through the game slowly. After we get Rean back, IT'S EXACTLY LIKE CS 2. Bosses have ridiculous health, which doesn't make the game 'fun' for me. But here, you need to visit every city after a major event so that you don't miss out on the sweet S rank. ATLEAST PUT THE BLOODY GREEN i ON THE MAP!. Brave Orders are broken AF. And you need to do a ridiculous amount of side content to unlock the quest for the true ending, why? Again, it's difficult without the help of a guide. There's a lot of wrong stuff with 4, especially the HAREM, why??? Who's idea was this??? Isn't it already clear from the first 3 games that Alisa is the main heroine? Oh yeah, the final true endgame boss was interesting. And oh boy there's a lot to complain more than praise. The most cliche, no one is the enemy; The real enemy is a third entity. I hate that sht. We are all your friends, and on your side. Then, IF YOU'RE ON MY SIDE WHY THE FCK ARE YA FIGHTING AGAINST ME? Clair and Lecter not getting punished was.... WHY? They're the main brains of all of these stuff, even if the government bodies were reorganized.. Jesus. And that as*hole of a price, this whole game I wanted to slap that fellow.
That's all for my small rant, I could've written more. But no one's reading the whole thing. 200+ hours for this series is a stretch, the character pool is saturated and a mess in later arcs. The story could've been compressed if the characters acted more human than an anime, a lot of bullsh*t events could've been skipped.
