Truly have I never been impacted by a game and its world in this way. As someone who normally skims dialogue or speeds through it, this game is one of the few that I've sat through and thoroughly enjoyed the text. The lore is extensive and interesting, I've never felt so compelled to want to see a world expanded upon. The music, oh boy, the music in this game is some of the best I've experienced to date, flowing and changing seamlessly from one beautiful ballad to the next all in accordance with your actions. The characters and the writing in this game are second to none, and the fact that you get attached to and care about these characters only to have to fulfill their and ultimately everyone's goals, you have to let them go. The one potential downside to this game is that the Rites themselves will most likely be hit or miss to most, though I enjoyed it well enough. If you're still deciding on whether or not to buy this game, please I implore you, give this beauteous work of art a try. Though I've only played for 9 hours, it is no doubt now one of my favorite games of all time.
