The fandisc provides a satisfying conclusion to Wizard's story, offering a bittersweet yet fulfilling ending.
The additional routes for Ryoushi and Woolfe add depth to the narrative and provide unique perspectives on the main story.
The artwork is beautiful, and the voice acting is expressive, enhancing the overall experience of the game.

The absence of Alistair's route, which was a significant part of the original story, leaves a major gap in the fandisc.
Some routes feel incredibly short, which may leave players wanting more content.
Certain character developments and plot points were disappointing or discomforting compared to previous installments.
