I finished the game a couple of days ago and wanted to share some thoughts and ask some questions

SpoilerOT0 - Discussion

Overall, I loved the game, I think I liked it slightly more than OT2, and that's saying a lot considering how much I liked that one, but I did have some problems and other things I wanted to talk about.

  1. Did the game became insanely easy for everyone? I only had one physical dps on my team, Olberic, and at a certain point his damage became absolutely insane. I had a few mage characters, my scholar mc, Ophelia, Alaune and Laurana, and they dealt some good damage, sometimes around 60k on broken enemy, but with Olberic I was easily hitting between 90 and 150k on an unbroken enemy with Wild Lance. Most bosses in the late game died before even getting broken, it was ridiculous.

  2. I wish they had been more explicit about what the rings actually do. At some point I remember saying someone they had one of the rings for a while and were nearly corrupted, so I guess they can change your personality? They can also transform you and maybe grant immortality? but I'm not sure about that. Also, in cases like Auguste for example, was he somehow using the ring to get away with killing people like they were nothing? Or was the world insane enough that they let him get away with any crime just because he writes some good plays?

  3. I liked most of the villains, and I loved all of their leitmotiffs. It's a great idea to give the villains the leitmotiffs instead of the heroes for this game. However one big exception is Signa. She's the worst character in the game imo. It feels so weird that we don't get an explanation as to how she came to work under Sazantos, as far as I remember no character ever asks her "hey, why are you doing all this?" nothing. It's like she exists as just a plot device, and even the characters in the story don't consider her a person. We get lots of scenes with Rondo wondering about why Sazantos is doing all this, and no one asks why Signa is doing anything, because I guess the writers didin't care enough.

  4. What was up with that scene where everyone forgot the mc in Bestower of All? That feels like a scene that made more sense in the gacha game and makes no sense in OT0. Like it just happens with no explanation and then everyone remembers with no explanation.
