I don't know what this book is, but I agree with anyone else saying that playing the game is very akin to completing a long novel in both volume and practice.

DE is easily one of the greatest videogames I have ever played. Not flawless, but it's got the heart and the brains to make up for any issue I may take with some of its gameplay systems.

And I do like the ending. It felt appropriate and well executed, I don't understand the hate. Let's hope future games set in Revachol meet the quality of the original.

Edit: I hoped in vain
