HagenEx 08/01/18 1:16:13 AM #33:	OT is basically Undertale 2.0. A huge hit for like 3 months, then everyone will forget about it. Literally one of the most basic JRPGs to ever exist. It's fun, yes, but that's it. There's no substance to the plot, the characters are awful and the overall balance of the game is poorly thought out.
