(My apologies if a similar thread already exists, my brief glances did not reveal one)
After putting it off for far too long, I spent the last four days burning through LD & RE as one does with a jolly good book.
Though I had my reservations with LD-the wave of Steam-based criticism from the early days of release still lingering in my mind- I gave it a fair chance. And it was a hell of a ride. The battles were full of tense moments, the revelations were appropriately shocking and the music to accompany it all could not have been more evocative.
My three most memorable points, I think, were...
RE, meanwhile, was a lovely (and much appreciated!) little side-tale of which I wish to spoil nowt, lest I cover the entire post in spoiler tags.
Ultimately however, Asaga is best girl.
All in all, an excellent tale well told. My largest thanks to the chaps at LiS for making the Sunrider series, and although I have doubts about obtaining Starnova-I dunno, idols have never really interested me-I thoroughly look forward to the next installment(s?) of the Sunrider saga.
Ta!

My three most memorable points, I think, were...
1) The final flight of the Sunrider. a desperate sprint under fire from everyone ending with a heroic collision course, it truly felt like the end of Shields' tragic journey.
2) The Liberation Day Massacre; I had entirely forgotten that this was going to happen. I actually found myself wholly anticipating the first gunshot right before it went off...but not from who was holding the gun. At the time I wondered if Lynn had somehow swapped places with Chigara a la SA, but 'twas not to be. Though the truth was far more intruiging and horrifying!
3) The identity of the Wanderer. This made me burst out laughing, though it also pleased me to know a tiny bit more about her, and to see her having a greater role in the story.

That Claude ending, though. Marrrrrvelous.
A little disappointed there was no harem ending, unfortunately. And no love for Cosette either? For shame.
