Graphics

Each route is fairly short, and you can probably expect to clear one between 10 to 12 hours of leisurely gameplay.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The combat, exploration, music, and design of the world and all of that is great and it can be fun at times, but the frustration brought on by its obtuse game design eventually outweighed that.
