YES

Except 3

YES

But 3 had the best hymns

... minus 3

For certain... game mechanics, mostly

But yes

.... all i can remember is something about mishas armpits

from a friend who was into the games

I second all of these opinions.

The games are good except 3, but the hymns from 3 are still amazing.

but yes 3's game mechanics push it into "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much fanservice" territory or even "exploitation of young girls" territory

woah

uh

ok....

Stay away from 3 then

thanks guys~

I heard something about the translation of 2 being iffy though...?

In some places, yeah

Mostly the Binary Field, though, I think

2 has issues with localisation, but honestly, it's not THAT bad

There was some project to make a patch to fix that and the horrendous bug in the optional superboss fight, but I haven't checked that in a couple months

Though there is a boss late in game that you NEED to finish off in the first few turns because it will freeze your game otherwise

wat.

Yeah, there's a big bug during a late boss

There's one attack that if she performs, the game locks up

And she is scripted to always use it on her third turn

She always casts it on the third turn, so you need to sequence break her, or defeat it

First

But honestly, it's not that hard

I OVERKILLED HER IN TWO TURNS, MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

wow

The second game is one of my favorite game, really

The first time I played it, I didn't like it so much

But the second time, I realized that I completely misunderstood who were the real protagonists

And the game blew me away

Also, Cocona is the most awesomest character in the entire series!

Do I have to play these games in order? or are they not connected?

They are connected, of yes

They're... mostly unconnected is probably the best way to put it?

A few characters from 1 show up 2 but each game makes sense as its own story despite that
