Thanks for the write up. I might just do a youtube watch of the story points, as I don't really feel like playing through it. I love the world, the characters and the atmosphere, but it's been a chore to get through the story. I kept hearing people say "you have to see it, it's the most gripping story" etc, but I honestly can't believe that. I've played the likes of Xenoblade 3, which made me ugly cry for 2 hours straight. Now THAT's a story I will forever remember. This on the other hand, I can't really recall what happened unless I do a recap and start to play the game.
Hopefully a youtube walkthrough of Ending C will shed some light, and then I won't have to deal with the game being in my backlog all the time 😛
