The social link system gets praised a lot but the actual dungeon crawling underneath it is thin and repetitive by comparison
GhostKnight
Does the female route actually change enough to justify replaying it... I've always wondered if it's a real second experience or just flavor text
QuestOwl2008
But did you actually try the female route yourself, or is this just a general impression from what people say online?
AbdullahKnight
never got far into any route myself, just watched a friend play through most of it, still counts as an experience I think

The writing gets a lot of credit here but the actual dungeon crawling is repetitive enough that I question the ranking, the social sim carries way more weight than the combat does
Audrey_55
problem is exactly that, confined and repetitive, nailed it

Loved the characters so much, even if the dungeon design gets repetitive fast!!
