Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Battles have realistic-looking images that are turned into pixel art through some filters, making them blend with the characters while looking beautiful at the same time.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I don't hate the gameplay, it's just exactly what you would expect from a traditional JRPG, so be prepared for some occasionally tedious grinding.

Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Despite the unpleasant enemy placement, combat is surprisingly solid, and the combination of the unique mechanic and the good-looking visuals are what keep me engaged throughout my playthrough.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The music by Electrobear is fantastic once again for the skeleton theme the game is going for, and the sound design is impactful without overbearing anything else.
