The game's story is generally well-received, with notable praise for its depth and character development, particularly in the Part 5 prequel, which is highlighted for its emotional impact. However, some players feel that the experience is hindered by a lack of clarity in the narrative, especially when relying on guides rather than engaging with the story directly. Overall, while the plot is considered good, the delivery could be improved for a better understanding.
- “Part 5 prequel stands out as the one with quite possibly the best storyline, completing Part 5 (main) very beautifully and tragically in a gut-wrenching way. The plot is well thought through, and the characters are well developed with depth.”
- “Although the downside for me is I have no idea what the story is about since I was merely following the guide to play, not also hearing Weasel read out the plot that was translated by the chat.”
- “Enforce close when you switch back from DLC world to main story mode.”
