I have enjoyed series which use unique, challenging mechanics and interesting / fun stories such as Octopath Traveler and Mario RPG rather than others a majority probably likes more such as Final Fantasy series as a whole.

To start off I'd like to mention that while I enjoyed the retro-like yet high-detailed pixelated graphics, I do have some mixed feelings about the UI though.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you try to learn everything naturally and don't farm crystals; just focus on the best build at all times, the difficulty curve is very satisfying.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I do like the animations of the skills which blend in well with the sound effects!
