#HLTB BRAVELY DEFAULT 2 SERIES#
Interesting that you liked Muv-Luv… from what I’ve read, a lot of people seem to despise the first part, or at the very least think it’s exceedingly bland, and only serves as a basis for which the rest of the series to stand on.

Just hoping it can maintain that momentum as things get real! Pretty much the same here - the concept of slice of life always sounds so boring, but there are a handful of cases where I end up actually enjoying them a fair amount! It helps that S G has a great cast too, not to mention an always fun premise. Most of the VN is just underwhelmingly average for me. This has its moments, and it does have beautiful and well written scenes, mostly revolving around Izumi (BEST GIRL). Much like ZTD, this is a case of the director being lazy and having the player write their story FOR them, only that the ambiguity is on a far larger scale in Never 7. Essentially, without spoiling anything, there are various interpretations of the story, and whatever you think happened isn't necessarily incorrect. Now, that being said, Never 7 requires huge leaps of logic and perhaps even worse, it relies too much on ambiguity. Most of the sci-fi stuff has been seen in Uchi's later franchise, Zero Escape, but to Never 7's credit, it utilizes them in a unique way so you don't have to worry about it feeling the same. The final route in particular is rather thought provoking, in the sense that you begin to question everything that has happened, so there's an existential component as well. And the VN is a little too comfortable with certain character trope flanderization and becomes annoying after a while.Īs for the sci-fi and emotional aspects, it does get interesting.

The heavy SoL premise does not help matters. It has some ridiculously cheesy and cringe-worthy dialogue at times, especially in Haruka's route. To be honest, I really didn't like Never 7 that much. Hey, sorry for the late response, I just came back from vacation. In the last battle of the chapter, I was getting wrecked by a boss tank, so I did a super risky strategy, had literally everyone except for my tank, an engineer and a scout survive in 3 turns, but pulled it off with an A rank. Yeah, it’s kind of annoying to have to rush in VC4! I had a slow but steady strategy in the first battle of the last chapter, and it went off without a hitch and zero casualties in like 7 turns, but I only got a D rank. It was very unique and interesting, but I felt like the story would have been more impressive considering all of the acclaim it had received over the past decade. Though that might have been my own fault for setting my expectations so high over the past ten years. I was a bit disappointed in 428 as a whole, actually. Suzune’s route was alright, at least it was short. Agreed, Canaan’s route didn’t really add much at all to the overall narrative - if anything it was just an obvious hook for the anime continuation, which I still have middling interest in anyway.
