Also, here's some character rankings.

1. Luna
Nobody reading this is at all surprised I have her at the top. A wonderfully written character.

2. Alice
Funnily enough she winds up being the least important character storywise. aKane insisting 'no no you're really important' felt like the writers trying to justify her inclusion more than anything else, but regardless I'm glad she's here. Love how her character unfolds, and I find her very sympathetic.

3. Tenmyouji
It's Jumpy! His identity is almost treated as an afterthought, and it's to this game's great credit that it creates such a compelling character long before the reveal without relying on the player's past knowledge of him.

4. Sigma
Strictly referring to the character as we know him, not as the AB project creator. Obligatory Uchikoshi horniness aside, he becomes a pretty damn good hero who never loses sight of his core humanity. I'm concerned where he will go in the third game if he becomes more like Zero.

5. K
Oh man, poor K. He may be the most victimised character of the whole bunch, in another game he would be the protagonist of this story and his 'father' the antagonist. I like what we get of him, but wish there was more. He deserves a resolution.

6. Phi
I needed to talk about Phi somewhere. It feels like they just forgot to write a big scene telling us her backstory and her role in the game. Why did they need to train her to jump? What is her deal? I enjoy her personality a lot, but why on earth is she here?! Why does she volunteer for the time traveling at the end? I assume the sequel will address her more, but it's really jarring that they left her such a mystery.

7. Clover
I'm not sure why they brought Clover back. There's some very nice moments with her, but also some odd ones and she can be a hindrance for no good reason sometimes. Was she a fan favourite from 999? I can't think why else she'd be here. Still, she's fine.

8. Quark
He's a kid. All the mysteries and baiting and switching, and he winds up just being a regular kid. It works well for the story, but yeah there's not much to say about him. We barely spend any time with him conscious.

9. Dio
A moustache-twirling monster with no redeeming qualities, he makes Ace look like a saint. Serves his purpose but he's more a plot device than a character.

10. Akane+Zero
Yeah I'm not a fan. Zero seems very unlike Sigma as we know him, and I don't know how Akane got into this mess in the first place.

I'd love to see anyone else's rankings (and overall thoughts now I've beaten the game), I have no idea what the general consensus is on things!
