Indeed, most of it is only given through backstory statements in the manual and HD version's synopsis, symbolism, one-liners, cutscenes that are completely devoid of any dialogue, and even the soundtrack so it takes a lot of contemplation to understand the story of the game.

I really do miss games that didn't hold the player's hand in regards to explaining the story, it's just a shame Journey of Dreams wasn't nearly as subtle in regards to it as NiD's show-don't-tell approach.

I really like the gameplay with an analog stick but I just don't think it's the highlight of the game.

Meh, only really want to play Nights into Dreams for now, guess I'll just get the PC version if SS emulators aren't great still
