-The new interwoven story is actually well done, it took what was already there and added on it in a fairly seemless way
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.

The new combat system is a massive improvement, it’s both fast-paced and strategic, it also has a really attractive presentation which gives me persona 5 vibes due its dynamic transitions and superb use of colors.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

i had fun playing it, the gameplay was good. i very rarely play JRPGs so i cant really compare it to anything in the genre. the karta play was nice, it provided some nice strategy.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art style and music are mostly pretty good but they just make some absolutely bizarre choices.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Overall, It’s a title that has all the elements a great RPG has: fun dungeons, a good variety of bosses and enemies, characters that are fun to use, and a very good soundtrack, and the best part, everything comes in the right amount and nothing never overstays its welcome(it takes 26-30 hours to beat the main campaign).
