I compared this to Persona mainly because I felt they tried to pull that off and failed, so they added the retcon. The similarity is there. Don't get me wrong, I love Persona 3 and agree it's one of the best games ever made, but it's not some holy object that's gonna get defiled when compared to this which is a flawed but still very good game. Just wanted to compare how Persona did it better, is all.

The very main problem I have with the story is that it could have been so much more. I was not bothered by the loop, because it had more character development for the asterisk holders, but that created a lot of plotholes. I know this writer can do a terrific job because Steins;Gate, but this did kind of feel it was rushed. The characters are great and their interactions awesome, the atmosphere gets intense, but then when the loop starts, they start getting inexplicable memory lapses. Remember guys? Ringabel told us Airy was evil and her wings were a countdown. I know we had to keep up appearances, but we had a suspicion as to how many worlds are left and Airy's reveal should have been less "huh?!" And more "huh, so THAT's what it meant."
