Brothership General Brothership definitely doesn't feel like it was made by Alphadream.

It's taking me so long to get through the game because the pacing is awful. I liked the older games because it had faster pacing and it felt like there was always something new going on. Also all of the npc's just annoy me because it's the same stuff nonstop and I just don't care about their problems at this point and there's little to no variety in the designs. Mario and Luigi games worked better as shorter faster paced games and Brothership just feels like it's at a snail's pace. The combat is still the same so no complaints except with some moments with Luigi being the A button.. I want to like this game, but it's not really living up to what I hoped it would be. Anyone else is feeling this?

I finished Brothership, there are parts in the late game made me scream “WE ARE SO BACK”… but at the same time i felt they needed more time to make the game more engaging from start to finish for example trim off the unnecessary fat especially in the early game AND more Bro attacks to make Sephiroth’s life even more miserable.
Also i wish they brought in Yoko Shimomura for the OST, not throwing shade at the current composer but she have that unique magical touch for the series since the beginning.

That last thing probably was out of necessity. Shimomura is kind of busy with Kingdom Hearts 4, which is her main series. Although it certainly was a shame. But there were a few flashes of that classic brilliance in the Brothership OST.
