Characters and voice acting – the game has great characters, and I got attached to all of them, the English voice acting for main characters was also pretty good, though some of the minor villains got butchered by voice actors – I am looking at you Zorba, but that’s a very minor complaint.
Graphics

The art style, effects, and character designs are stunning, and the locations themselves are beautifully crafted.
Characters

36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The two final party members to join your group are the cast's genuine bright spots, carrying a notch more character than everyone else and making you wish that same care had been extended to the full roster from the start.
