I don't get it. They completely removed the scenes during gameplay and only left the one after defeating the character. There is no incentive anymore to care about different monsters or routing. The body modifications during the runs are gone. Even the different stages are irrelevant since you could just loop the character in the first stage over and over while you set up a combo, then one-shot them, get through the story and not miss out on anything. Even the armor break has no content anymore, so why bother? The elements are almost completely irrelevant, since just getting a 100x combo will kill any character or their armor.
In short, they removed, what made the other games good and made the actual gameplay incredibly tedious and unrewarding. What the fuck/10
Please tell me if there is something I'm missing here.
