Character customization is fairy extensive, allowing you not just select characters’ weapons and armor and allocate their level-up points, but also select exact skills the characters will have available, and choosing skills that will allow your characters to form powerful combination attacks is important for winning.

30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Game also has full Japanese voice acting, none that I recognize enough to put a name to yet, but there's talent to appreciate.
