I was under the impression I would only need a jar to hold all of my tears when in reality I needed a cask.

You, who has yet to buy the Soundtrack: can we listen to something other than this??

Me, a reasonable human being who has good taste in OST: *Kicks you out of the car*

I'm here to smack some sense into some of you folks who are skipping out on this game simply due to the price tag.

• Stunning Artwork and a bountiful amount of CGS. If you're a CG completionist the game makes you want to play every route.
  
• Lovely cast of VAs. The game is not fully voiced, but you do have full scenes of voice work vs games where you just get 'hey' 'oh' bits voiced in full sentences. All of the important and heart clenching parts are voiced.
  
• A lot of cusomization options to personalize your reading experience. You have options such as choosing text speed, a volume master that includes individual character controls, and even being able to disable the Protagonist's character sprite.
  
• 20+ endings as described in the overview. You have good and what I call 'bittersweet' endings for each route. If you unlock one ending for each character you get a fully voiced epilogue and if you unlock all endings (including the switch route endings!) you are given a fully voiced grand finale!
  
• The game brings some more adult themes that localized Otome games severely lack. I have no problem with endearing otome games depicting a pure and innocent love, but the localized Otome industry is severely lacking in adult content. While most games dance around certain topics in the writting and leave you guessing---its really nice to see (at least in some of the routes) a more adult relationship portrayed. And to answer your inevitable question: No, this game does not have H-scenes. At the same time, however, it does not shy away from adult topics and telling you outright that our protagonist has sexual encounters with her lover (Or multiple lovers--holy moly I still can't believe the brothel route is a thing that actually happened). I do consider this a step in the right direction to show the industry that girls DO want 18+ otome games localized.

• Constant Loading screens can get a little annoying on your first playthrough but they become EXTREMELY handy when speeding through your second run and onwards. After completing a route for the first time you will unlock bonus mini-scenes that add to the character/story. You'll notice a mini-scene via the blue silhouettes vs the usual orange.
  
• The Oz Love Triangles. The writting gets a little hasty and is not paced very well in my opinion. It just adds a little quick drama to a story that was already progressing just fine. When you do switch the writing is short and doesn't really give you much time to attach to the new love interest before reaching of the two endings. Its not all bad, however. The game provides different pre-triangle stories per route per intended rival (i.e. Your beginning to date Kyrie scenarios are different depending on if Axel or Caramia is your 2nd runner in affection). ALSO If you do switch you get a bit more information on the boys that isn't present in their main routes as well as some CGs.
  
• The game is written in 3rd person vs the usual 1st person for visual novels. I know a lot of readers prefer a more immersed experience and this can disrupt that.

• The story gets a little confusing at times and it leaves you questioning a few things even after the Grand Finale. What happens to Ceaser and Hamelin? Is ♥♥♥♥/Protagonist considered ruling class?

Given the amount of quality content, OZMAFIA!! Is definitely worth the price tag (and is actually even more in JP so we actually have it at a 50% price drop). Please give OZMAFIA!! a chance and support the visual novel localization industry!

When you ask someone what the perfect formula for a good RPG is, you will get a variety of answers. Some will say a good RPG is filled with great foes to fight and proove your strength, amazing armor and weapons to collect, or the amazing locations you will traverse.

Undertale may gently touch those topics but it does not hold emphasis on these things. Instead it puts all of its time into world building and story telling strictly through the characters you meet. Every encounter from enemies to npcs all have a personality of their own that makes this game shine where other RPGS fail to. However, you only get to experience the depth of this world for what it is if you go against the basic formula of rpgs. I will not spoil but if you do decide to play with the usual rpg rules and choose to fight, the wonder and depth of the world is cut off greatly.

A no mercy run will garuntee you nice equipment, a variety of foes to slay, and plenty of locations to explore and conquer.

A Mercy run will give you a challenge filled with laughter,a great cast of characters, a world worth remebering and a story you will wish you could forget just to experience it for the first time again and again.
