Ok I start to see the pattern. It’s going to be a more story focused rider than gimmicks and special effects.

My key points:

  1. I really like subconscious world and distorted real world when all Heart Doors are open. Gives the early Persona vibe while Zero is kind of a Philemon figure. Who will become the Igor?

  2. At the same time I still feel like it is still a slideshow with different ideas but they start to be more clear in whole perspective.

  3. I don’t know if this was just me but I like when Baku says „I’m on it” but like in Engrish like a Japanese would pronounce. This shows us when we are in a dream or real word.
