Wow. As some other reviewer said, one of the big draws in this game are the scenarios are so varied and creative.
The way that you move through the story and world are also in your full control. While this can cause certain issues like events not lining up perfectly, the author has put in substantial work to keep things coherent.
The benefit being - you can progress as far into the game as you want using 'pure' route, and then come back and commit rampant debauchery , without missing ANY content.
The pure playthrough as an RPG is quite enjoyable with the battle mechanics balanced well. I was surprised when I noticed I found myself strategizing with things like the defensive buffs which usually are ignored.
One thematic thing I appreciated is that the game takes its protagonist seriously. They are a master knight, and appropriately you start the game at a high level and through my entire PURE playthrough, I never gained nearly enough experience for the next level.
Instead you progress primarily via story actions and equipment you naturally obtain. AKA no grind.
Finally, if you HATE turn based RPG's and want 0 to do with it. That you just want the H and story? Well I am happy to tell you that you can absolutely do that, too. It's crazy the flexibility this game has.
Anyway I don't know what else to say. This game's good. You'll probably love it.
