There are a LOT of finite resources you have to juggle, and the min-maxer that I am managed to do better than what the characters expected at times based on how much they talk about certain bosses being hard as nuts to beat, but oh boy, was it a struggle to min-max because there's NO grinding.

For an indie game, the voice acting is REALLY well-done, especially for Faratras, who I would say is the most important POV character.

All the hand-drawn visuals looked incredible and animated well in Live2D except for the final boss.
