Restoration Lake (Matthia)

The first minute feels like a slowburn to listen to, and I say this as a fellow who really likes decent buildups into the song. They're absolutely fine for what they are, and difficulty progression does makes some sense, but it feels like it's unnecessary.

39.509, 39.676, 50.217 etc. - Could move this somewhere so it doesn't create a 16th minijack in the stream, you didn't do this anywhere else in this chart.
42.217 - Move to 1?
43.467 - Reorient your stream patterning here?
45.780 - Move to 3?
1:18.551 - These two hands felt too sharp to be hands, maybe you can make them as [14] jump instead? Same deal as the next 16th hand. (addendum: it seems like it's pretty deliberate that you've used hands for this metallic hi-hats, but just going to put it out there.)
*1:20.155 etc. - Not entirely sure if these 64th jumps are worth this much accenting, given the chart's structure seems pretty explicit enough.
1:58.301 - Don't think this should create a 3-note jack on the left hand, you can move it to [23] I feel.
1:59.634 - ^ but to [13] or something along those lines.

More of the same for the 3-note jacks apply, would encourage moving them wherever necessary.

2:07.759 - Sounds like there should be a burst here? You can ditch the jumpjacks to create like a 32nd/36th bursts or whatever.
2:15.717 - Feels a bit weird to have the 16th sequence (not counting the 24ths) be on the left hand. (4th: col.1, 16th: col.1, 8th: col.2 and 16th col.2)
2:30.051 - Make this a single, can't hear a distinctive sound like the other 4th jumps every measure.
2:43.384 - Understood the jump omission here, but breaking for the flow of the former dumping is probably better to still accent this 4th a jump. Not sure how you would do that but I think you can figure something out.
*2:52.370 - This would need adjustments for the continuous grey note dumping, because not only you sped up the quantizations towards the end, and this does force a split jump which this plays absolutely brutal.
*3:33.328 - This 24th minijack is gross, please move them to 2 or somewhere else once it enters the transition later.
3:54.209 - I think this roll plays a bit much on the left hand (not that it's unnecessary), but the patterns tend to feel not getting as much as excitement for the right hand, because it's essentially kind of a pseudo jumptrill and not much else. If the jumps on 3/16th are two-handed ([14] for example), you'll get more liberties to play around the notes while retaining the repetition rather nicely I think.
3:58.092 - Watch that right-hand bias here. (I think for this last minute section tends to get heavy with the hand bias, might wanna check those too.)

I'll be honest - I think this is one of those first times where the song feels it could use like an easier chart, but I think this plays surprisingly fluid (although occasionally to a fault at times). My issues are all stemmed from more of the playability sense where, sure, the song does feel a lot lighter to do things like these, but sometimes it's on the edge of being too rigid at times. I think this is one of the problems I've had when judging Deamerai's Angel Salad, where it's deliberate, gives off nice ideas but it tends to get overboard with its chaotic accenting, mostly on a song's fault - whereas this is sort of the same thing except the song does really lend itself towards lighter layering and this is the opposite of what I'm getting.

For what it's worth, this is a unique and interesting chart for its difficulty, but it'll play so much better overall if the *'d issues are fixed (and the **'d note because it's a metadata issue). My notes on this aren't that extensive but it contributes a lot to my perception of how the group of D8 players would think of whenever a 110+ difficulty files looked like for FFR. [7*/10, Fixes Required]

Additional note: This is not a suggestion, but rather a personal opinion that I think this would still fit the bill for 110+ even if you chop the first minute of this chart off. If you want to cut the first minute then I'd be down with it as well.

Judge Score: 7.00 - Fixes Required

Due to its 2-point difference in rating, a head judge will look over this file to give their final verdict. The "Unjudged" flag is a tentative status, so please be patient while we get a third opinion review.

Changes are mostly satisfactory and good enough to remove the FR.

Setting this to Accepted, though it could benefit if you can fine-tune the ending around a bit more if possible, namely 3:58.092 - I noticed it remains unchanged, and while it doesn't require much attention, it plays a bit too straining I feel.
