Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
93 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
During my campaign, as soon as I hit the around 65-80 mark- is where I really felt like the game was starting to shine and putting me in fun fights with actual mechanics.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
68 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
-the only reason I managed to play as much is because I am not kidding in the pros in saying the combat is fun, but after you reach the level cap and endgame and there is no endgame other than doing houses and "afk in limsa lominsa" then it's just disappointing.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The amount of options you have with character design are limitless, and that allows players incredible freedom in making their perfect avatar.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There's a very Sega signature flavor to the graphics and music that this game has down pat.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game is good for fashion and high-difficulty end game boss fights, and that is perfectly fine for players who enjoy those things.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Thankfully, the game is designed so that if you do not engage in conversations with anyone, your interactions with other players will be positive, such as giving kudos, likes, co-op combat, etc.
