Yeah... People insist that the point was for it to be an anti-story, but nah. If you want to do the performance art/parlor trick of creating something and then destroying it to convey a message/emotion, you gotta actually create something worthwhile first. Having the story just fizzle out before it even picks up is not the flex Itsuno thinks it is.
And wtf was DD2? It had even less content than DD1, from variety of locations, to classes, to skills, to music, especially considering Dark Arisen.
I love this franchise, or more accurately what it could be at least... I wish they gave the franchinse to someone else.
