Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The story is a bit lackluster and the game without a doubt has the cheesiest dialogues in all of trails games I had played.
28 of 107 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Gameplay retains the classic turn-based combat system with the addition of the Brave Order system, enhancing strategic depth.
10 of 107 sampled reviews raised it
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
The combat is very similar to the most recent entries, there's the whole cast you know and love, but let's start with what's probably the most obvious hurdle for English speaking players: this release isn't in English.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack in this game fortunately, I can say on a higher note, was pleasing to listen to and the 3 main battle themes were very appropriate to their respective protagonist routes.

Game is well optimized (utilizes all 10 cores of my CPU).
