I still think it's really, really cool that to get the best ending you need to either actively act against your own self-interest, or *lose* the very last match.

You know what I think would actually be really, really cool?

Imagine if through the entire game, there's a button you could press to leave the Nightwings and thus get to a new endgame screen. Would make it a choice to remain their Reader, not something you have to go along with.

Me, a while ago: I think this game would actually be better if it were harder.

Me now, on True Nightwing mode, getting absolutely destroyed and wanting to cry: oh so that's why they set the difficulty where they did.

I think I've passed the difficulty point where I can win matches at all.
