9.5/10
Would recommened

>>27720057
I'm playing it right now and it's pretty fun. I'm not too keen on the new recruit system, but it has its benefits.

>>27720057
It's better than Infinity but not as good as Explorers/R&B

>>27720057
It's my favourite Mystery Dungeon game. Would recommend for sure.

>>27720173
>not as good as Explorers/R&B
Debatable 2bh. A lot of people think it is even better.

>>27720173
>muh story
Fuck off. The gameplay, music and literally everything else is better in PSMD.

it's just an average MD game, try it, you'll probably love it more than me

git gud

It's ending is ripped shot for shot from Tales of symphonia.

Including the world tree/seed in space.

>Is it at least better than Gates to Infinity?
Yes.

I'll say this, the story starts as shit, and people may not like the new recruitment system, but I think the recruitment is good for removing RNG fuckery, and once the story picks up its pacing you won't be able to put it down.

>gameplay is probably the best in the series but some may not like the changes or how the game is stricter in what sort of approach you take
>structural changes to the mission/job system is shit
>recruit system is overall improved, but no nicknames and the inability to get duplicates other than forms and gender differences is bullshit
>story is the worst in the series, unless you're of the belief that anything is better than nothing
>music is okay, I was never impressed by PMD music, Shiren and regular Pokemon have much better music
>too many bright flashing messages and fanfares treating you like a preschooler acting like every little thing you accomplish is the most amazing thing in the world for my taste

8/10 it's okay

>>27720356
>Have to use items all the time
>Basic A attack fixed at 5 damage
>Break system still enforced after beating the game
>Can be 100%ed in 70 hours and leave you with nothing to do

>>27720356
Gameplay is much better and harder, but the music was very underwhelming in most parts of the game. EoS is better, kill yourself.

wow, that is some seriously shitty taste

>>27720057
Don't spoil yourself, much better than Gates to Infinity, except most feel Gates had a stronger story

It's my second favorite behind Explorers, and it's definitely better than Gates. There are a few mechanics I wish came back like Gummis and the online rescue board from Explorers, and the story's pacing is pretty off (the first third of the game goes too slow considering how irrelevant most characters in that part are, and the post-credit epilogue goes way too fast), but it's really solid otherwise.

Hopefully the next PMD game uses the same engine and portrait style so we can get more starters, since they'll have all the portraits for the 20 starters in this game.

>having to use items in a roguelike is a complaint
