Also, I feel as if the story after the timeskip was kinda boring compared to pre-timeskip but that's probably due to the route I chose even though I like Claude's route overall.
I think my issue is that there's so much going on between each battle and while I really like the battles and the characters in this game, having like 3 hours of running around the monastery, talking to people, listening to support conversations, and then building up all your student's skills before getting to the next fight became painful towards the end to the point where I just skipped the last 3 months basically.
I'd say I'd give it an 8.5 overall. I'd say I enjoyed Path of Radiance and Awakening more personally. I'm gonna take a break for a little bit and then do a Black Eagles playthrough so we'll see if I enjoy that more.
