It was released in Japan for the PlayStation 4 in August 2020, with ports released for the Nintendo Switch and Windows in August 2021. An English version was released in July 2023 with an additional port for the PlayStation 5.

Runs well on modern hardware.

This game and the entire series has been there for me during the lowest points of my life. (Also no you CANNOT start series from here since this is kinda like watching season 7 of a show)
This isn't just a game... it's a true masterpiece... 10 / 10 Just buy it, play it, and you'll see what I mean.
Once again, if you're this far.... You're already sunk cost to hell and will be playing this anyway. Thankfully this time around, it is without any big caveats from me personally. This is the silliest, most absurdly breakable version of the CS era combat system, in the best way. Story is hype moments and aura, the cutscenes have very improved choreography within this aging engine, but the roster is huge to the point of being anxiety-inducing. Some of the music hits really hard and some of it is... an acquired taste to say it politely. It's neat that the story takes a much needed break from "talk to every single person again and do all the side quests at every story beat" so that you can stay moving along, but I suppose that's a personal preference thing if that's what you love most out of these games. Really a great time all around with tons to do.
