Seriously, though, I don't know what it is, but I'm seriously in love with Lezard. Well, I think I know some of what it is; the part where he wears glasses and the part where he's voiced by Liam O'Brian. Those probably have a lot to do with it.
He's not the only thing I like about it, though. This game is gorgeous. Like, ridiculously gorgeous. And the battle system is pretty cool. And I always like Norse mythology! And the Alicia/Silmeria thing is interesting. The huuuuge amounts of grinding required are pretty annoying, but at least I'll never get sick of hearing, "Nibelung Valesti!!" over and over again. Among other things. There's one large problem, though.
All. The. Goddamn. Loading.
And I don't mean really long loading screens, either. It's not that kind of loading. It's practically buffering. Right in the middle of what you're doing, whatever you're doing, be it fighting or cutscene or walking or Soul Crushing, it just stops, with a little red-orange box saying "Reading Disc" for... however long it takes. Several seconds. Which is really annoying. I don't remember how many times I yelled "In the middle of my Soul Crush!!" while I was playing earlier, because it would have been easier to count the times it didn't do that to me whenever I used a Soul Crush. (Which was always, without fail, Nibelung Valesti. Mostly because that's the only one I can use. ...although, Richelle might have a different one if I equipped her with that sword... or maybe not. I should try it.) It is so. annoying.
I still like the game, though.
