To start off the review, I'll address the elephant in the room. Yes it's more expensive than the previous volumes, but yes it also has "more content" If an auto play run is considered the standard, the previous volumes were about 4-5 hours long. This volume is about 11 hours long.

My time played is the about the amount of time it takes for a complete auto-play through. While I agree that it's not the strongest volume out of the series. It's not a bad beginning arc to end the Phantom Trigger series. The preview allegedly stated that Vol. 8 will be the final volume for Phantom Trigger (I highly doubt it, keep milking Grisaia Frontwing).

While I normally discourage people from picking stories with cliffhangers, Vol. 7 doesn't leave you on a big one. The entire volume is a setup for a climax story in volume 8 by introducing us to new and old returning characters, as well as the conflict at hand. Because of this, the entire volume seems less like a self contained story like previous volumes and more of a slice of life show (in a battlefield) with an overarching plot in the background.

I updated the review to contain some concerns about the price.
Also Frontwing, I'll patiently wait for you to animate the entire series.
P.S. Maki is the best.

Good night sweet prince.
With the supposed final update released today, I feel like now is a good time to review it.

Let's first talk about the elephant in the room, I like the game. Fans, “probably” will like the game. However, for a newcomer, I would not recommend this game. If you’re a fan of the series, you clearly don’t need this review. It’s more of the same ♥♥♥♥ you got from Resurrection. If you liked Rage Burst more, you may not like this game as much.

Now onward to the review for people who might but this game on a sale.
I’ll answer the obvious. God Eater 3 is so detached from the core series that Marvelous should have just name this God Eater: Europe. So no, you, the potential buyer don’t need to play Resurrection and Rage Burst first (although I’d recommend it) in order to enjoy this game. I won’t spoil much of the plot, but supposedly the final update added more lore to the game which has a bunch of references to the core series. However I haven’t played the final update as I can’t really motivate myself to play it even in this “lockdown”. I won't comment on the overall plot cause I'm a sucker for trash stories (I liked the Resident Evil Movies, sue me).

Next I bet you’re wondering about the gameplay. It’s a standard hack and slash game with a stamina bar. Every action besides walking consumes stamina. You take missions, go out to the field, kill, collect and repeat. The enemies in game are varied just enough that the rehashed enemies aren’t mind numbingly boring. But there are almost 2-3 types of each enemies that are just recolored or upgraded versions of themselves. So if you hate killing red slimes in area A only to kill blue slimes in area B, you probably would get sick of this game. But the plus side of this, the enemy patterns are the same so you'll be able to kill and collect faster. Which in turn allows you to upgrade your weapon, and, you guessed it, kill and collect faster.

Duct tape. I hope you love duct tape. You see anime games tend to be notorious with character customization *cough* code vein *cough*. However in this game almost all default outfits are littered with duct tape. Sure it fits the theme of the game (plot), and they did try to rectify this by adding duct tapeless outfits in the updates, but it wasn’t the same as the older games. Next we can talk about the weapon customization, or there lack of. Sure you can choose the weapon of choice, hammer, dual daggers, scythe, etc. However I'm talking about the diversity within the weapon class. You can use the standard beginner’s blade and upgrade that until you get the end game weapon with Pulse. Sure you can kill things faster with a weapon that has an elemental type strong against the enemy, but you'd need to make four for each type. It's much easier to invest in a non-elemental one as you'd only need to farm one set.

Multiplayer? Hahaha. I hope you’re buying this game with friends.

Overall, game’s pretty good. But if I were to remove my “fanboy filters” all I can see is a short game using better graphics with the name God Eater attached to it. Buy it on a sale if you’re interested, but you could honestly get more enjoyment from the other game.

God Eater 2 Rage Burst is finally here in the West. It took 3 years for it to get here, image how long it will take for God Eater 3 [word modifier] Rage Burst to come to the West. Anyways jokes aside, the gameplay and story is very straight forward. You take missions, and kill your target.
Combat is simplistic, yet challenging. There are some styles that are brainless, while others that require extreme timing. You can choose between sword or gun, but a balance between both will lead to a less "stale" gameplay. And like any JRPG there is a lot of customization. While the game might be a bit lonesome playing alone, it’s totally worth it for any fan. Any newcomers I recommend joining a discord or steam group to find friends to play with.

I can't say much about God Eater Resurrection besides the fact that, if the aragami attacks and skill rebuilding of Rage Burst feels too easy, Resurrection turns it upside down. It's not more difficult, it's just different, which gives it a fresh new look on the game.

The only thing I can't stress enough is: Read the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ database. It's there for a reason. All your questions can be answered by looking in there. Remember there's also steam guides as well.
