Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
154 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I want to emphasize that I'm a filthy casual who can't comment on how well the mechanics are balanced (especially once you get to the post-game) but I've had a blast exploring all the different strategies which are possible, and I can't say I ever truly got bored of combat, even after grinding in the end game.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
131 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The main story and side stories explored so many unique themes and concepts that really showed how inspired the writing team was.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
58 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This game also has a kickass soundtrack with songs that match the tone of the game super-duper well.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The fusion system + advantage chart revamp mentioned above make the combat MUCH MORE DYNAMIC AND STRATEGIC.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I loved the art style and the 2.5D aspect of the game!
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The difficulty settings are pretty granular, which is nice, but I didn't end up messing with them much, so I can't speak to the effectiveness of tuning them up and down.
