I know this is four years old but this is the best review of the several I've watched in trying to decide whether or not to buy the game on sale. Nobody else touched on the character writing or tonal clash. These things matter as much to me as the gameplay and yet I didn't even question their absence in those reviews until hearing you touch them. Mad props! You've given me a fuller picture to consider and helped me make a more informed decision. I see you haven't updated in 2 years but I'm gonna sub anyway! Credit where it's due.

13:20 I think Raz is one of the best things in this game because when I was in the service there was always a Raz somewhere who is gunho and bad ass but has a good heart and means well but his emotions gets the best of him and sometimes that can be a good thing (like in hostile environment) or a bad thing when he gets in trouble but there was nothing you could do to help him. I honestly like how they build the character around their weakness and strength through growth by bonding together because that is exactly what happen when you bunk with people with different upbringing and believes than you.

4:48 I'd say it's not the Pacific war, but Eastern front, specifically - battle of Moscow. Operation Northern Cross clearly took inspiration from Operation Typhoon, Siegfall line acts as Capital's defence perimeter - which Mozhaisk defence line was for the Soviet Union. New Imperial tanks are lookalikes of T-34 and KV/IS soviet tanks. Heck, it's even hinted in game's japanese subtitle.

Great videos mate, subbed

Yeah Forsetti sucks as a villain. And yeah I completely agree with your tangent there.

When's the VC3 review? :P

great review, you name a lot of the problem i have with the game, and i thank you for that

Complaining about the beach scene and swimsuit skins in an anime game. Very bad look. Idk what you call nudity in the UK but here we have the sports illustrated swimsuit issue on regular magazine racks for kids to buy. Its not nudity lol.
