FC is nice and all, but it is the first game in the series. It's not super interesting, and a lot of the mechanics are very simplistic. Which is understandable, first game and all.
Yeah, Sen I, while fun to play, is pretty much Persona... Not that's a bad thing, but I sort of want to explore Erebonia and interact with the game on a larger scale. The plot structure pretty much enforces the linear style, but still. At least, with Sen II that's no longer the case, and most definitely Sen III won't have it either.
I'm guessing you're talking about SC? Because the image is blurry as **** and Ao has a lot of **** happening, lol. Well, there a lot of bad ass moments with SC (Olivier's reveal and resolve is GLORIOUS), even though everything that happened was rather minuscule in comparison with the other arcs. And if we're being really, really fastidious the games where the least things happen are Zero and Sen I. All of Zero is set-up, nothing is ever resolved until Ao. Sen I is the same thing, except all of the set-up occurs within the last stretch of the game.
