The battles are pretty fun, but again there's very little variety, once you figure out the shortest path to victory. And with so many encounters to deal with, you end up taking that path a lot. The item system is interesting since you can't abuse it easily and healing is actually fairly costly, but it adds a lot of dumb luck factor (especially in hard mode) when bosses can take out a character before their item skills have a chance to activate.

The game has some really funny and interesting characters though, but doesn't get to showcase them a lot besides the main trio. That's great for Neptune and IF. Neptune in particular is just a blast to watch, because she really puts her clueless vigor to use for good effect. But I found Compa to be really annoying (desu). And not only for her voice (desu). The other CPUs are fun, but their interaction with the other characters even after recruiting them is extremely limited, so it feels like a lot of wasted potential.

And ah yes, there are just tons of references to other games, which always brought a smile to my face (if I got them). My favorite one was the Final Fantasy reference in Lastation, although Tetris in Planeptune came close. In my opinion the references will make or break the game for you, because the other factors aren't appealing enough on their own.

Oh, and the music is really mediocre. GUST's composers could blow these guys out of the water any day.

Given a choice between the two I'd take AT3 any day, but Neptune still gave me some good times.
