Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
202 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story potential and all the mysteries that MoD gave us with its ending events weren't left to waste, and MoT only gets better.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
103 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There aren't many SRPG parts compared to the text walls, but they were given proper care for fun, and with a good balance and a bunch of mechanics that you'll actually have to use to see any success... unless you exploit Haku and Fumirul's Overzeal loop.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Developed by Aquaplus, it blends poignant storytelling, memorable characters, and strategic combat in a way that few other games in the genre manage.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Voice acting is good, but Hakuoshtor's forced voice sounds a bit silly, especially during emotional scenes, but it's bearable.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The character design is one of my favorite things in this game, iconic designs that you really see anywhere else, and that flair is only one of the things that this amazing series offers.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I will say this game on Normal difficulty is the hardest yet.
