5/5, no question. However, I also write that, while knowing that it won't be a 5/5 for everyone.
There are certainly issues with the game that some might not agree with. Combat is boring and badly balanced. Even on max difficulty, it is hard to lose unless vs certain enemies/large groups, since when i was playing everyone popped up and started automatically healing the turn after they go down, so unless the entire team gets wiped in a single turn then you just sort of automatically win, eventually. It got to the point where I just hit 'auto' and let combat handle itself, and if you do manage to lose a random character gets their stats super buffed so you won't be losing for long. Personally, after a bit I just used MTool to give me a lot of attack/defense for the battles I had to do, and also cheat myself an item that lets you turn off most random meaningless encounters. Combat is not why you play this game.
Storywise, there isn't that much either. the various 'storylines' aren't exactly... too long, I guess, if you are going for a specific ending. I spent a while in the game exploring every direction you could go, before realizing I was accidentally progressing every storyline at once (one per heroine), and I just made a save around the end, before fighting each of the three end bosses and seeing the unfortunately short epilogue for each.
Also, map traversal felt kind of annoying sometimes. Sometimes it was the number of different paths you could take with too few waypoints for fast travel, or not enough direction. Sometimes it was backtracking to check an area that I knew an event would spawn in, but hadn't become active yet. Other times it was the sheer spam of random enemies on a given tileset before I used a cheat item to turn that mostly off. But by the end, it did bother me a bit.
Now with all that being said, why am I still giving it a 5/5? The scenes. Goddamn, the scenes. You absolutely have to enjoy these kinds of kinks, but if you do, goddamn. It's been a hot minute since I've found a game that had scenes I loved this much. Every single one was right up my alley and I felt sad when the game ended because I knew there wasn't going to be more. For my tastes, at least, this was some pretty amazing stuff.
