Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
A completely loaded cast of characters allowing you to customize the way you play, the only issue is you can't properly use them in all the ways you want to due to the sheer amount but it definitely adds replayability to the game.

I need to save up some money to buy the game for someone else (and buy the soundtrack for myself, that whole thing slaps!)

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
But it also never feels like perfectionism; there is a rawness to the art style that fits the genre perfectly.

Sometimes when I play games like this, the battle elements are neglected and it seems a bit too easy, but not with this game.
