Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The storyline deftly pulls you along with more polished cutscenes, gradual plot reveals and split narratives.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Overall, for itself I don't think it's own story pulls it through, but in context of the other 3 games, and given the excellent gameplay implementation, I recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing game to play - but get episode 3 and play that first...

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
With some nice Snes-like graphics and interesting mechanics, this is a game I can recommend, although it's not without flaws and aspects that simply didn't click with me.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Along with that, significant upgrades have been given to the music and sound effects, including a couple of really stand-out boss themes, which is excellent because boss themes are the most important aspect in judging a JRPG's quality.
