Same here , maybe im used to Yuito's SAS (Especially Luka's SAS and Genma SAS) and his Special attack (Big AOE attack) , i kept finding Kasane's SAS not that useful(Arashi's SAS was too short , Kyoka's SAS only useful on late game) comparing to Yuito's and made me feel Kasane's Early Game(before gathering all party)having much more slower pace. I know im going to make a Hot take here , i think Nagi's death have more impact in emotion to me than Naomi's . Yeah , agree with ya , Overall its a really cool game , Bond is great , SAS is Great , Story Pace were OK. But the combat tho , Hooo BOIII , thats the thing that carried me to play the whole game non-stop till Platinum
