What happened to SB (story)?

It's... mostly pacing. We had too much to do, and that left no room for any space for us to breathe.

That was intentional, I believe.

IMO, we were meant to feel rushed and not given "time to breathe". [spoiler]The Ala Mhigans were on the brink of defeat and we had no time to waste attempting to get the Doman's help.[/spoiler] And that was something I quite liked about the story. I didn't ever really feel any "impending doom" in HW, or at least what was there wasn't very effective.

Intentional or not it felt rushed in the bad way. Really, how everything so easily goes your way is just good old Mary Sueing, thought it's nothing new which is bad in itself. Second I'd say that story just felt like - 'Is this for kids?' and looking at game been 12+ it very well may be lol. Like how many times we let Grenwhatever to escape? It's a war - just tickle his spine with a few arrows or something. How does Yotsuyu survived for real? She got slashed then crushed then drowned. Gosetsu also got shot a few times. You really want "People die then they are killed" to work sometimes. And I say that despite Yotsuyu been my type and all, it's just was too poorly handled.

Also, while story had a few awesome moments they were all just cliche. /huh
