This concludes my first - and for now possibly only - play-through of this game.
It was... certainly something, I will say that much. The conclusion... I have achieved here, is an odd one. Quite a lot of question remain unanswered, and in fact quite a few just came up with the reveal of Zeron directly prior to this.
But... I will leave it at that. I knew very well that I won't achieve the perfect ending (is that even possible the first play-through?) and the atmosphere of this game got to me quite a lot. Given this atmosphere... I will be honest... this is the best ending I could have expected aside from the perfect ending.
I felt a lot of emotion and passion playing this. The gameplay was decent and quite fun. The towers got repetitive in a sense, even though they did all have their own charm and twists to them.
The bosses have been, for the most part, very entertaining. I skimmed through the artbook, and their design is truly amazing when paying attention to detail. You can actually very well see how these masters are based on human vessels that sacrificed themselves for one way or another.
This games New Game+ seems to be quite the odd one as well. It seems maxing out the bond with Elena will be quite easy, as the bond is carried over, along with everything else.
Aside that, you have the option to either start from the beginning, tower #6, tower #11 or the very fast scene.
What will this mean for these videos? Well... I think I will need a break from this game for a bit. It was a great experience I will cherish on its own for the time being. However I will be getting back to this.
I know that a lot of items and events are unlocked in New Game+, so when I upload videos regarding events and/or gifts for Elena, I will label them (E##+) to give the difference to events being had during the regular play-through.
Final thoughts: This game achieved exactly what it was set out to do. Chain the player (that is willing to commit himself on a different level) to the events and tragic fates of these characters. Not a whole lot of story going on, not a huge world to explore... but a compact realm in which we try to find out how to act correctly.
