/jp/ - Otaku Culture

So I wrote this post up on /v/ but then the thread devolved into a mess of arguing about another company's games. I stopped coming to these threads for a long time, so did you guys have similar thoughts on Firis, or am I just missing something fundamental about it here? I think what bothers me the most is how it took the things I did like about Sophie and messed those up.
That said, I'm only now at the point of recruiting Il after travelling through the waterspout, so if the game does pick up from here, please let me know.
