Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
84 of 236 sampled reviews raised 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.
52 of 236 sampled reviews raised it
An exceptionally good deal at $5 for ~15 hours of game time, and an absolute must for those who would rather think than grind.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
36 of 236 sampled reviews raised it
The portraits of NPCs were not that great, but the sprites in combat looked pretty good, and all were properly animated.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
22 of 236 sampled reviews raised 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.
13 of 236 sampled reviews raised 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.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
12 of 236 sampled reviews raised it
The characters are diverse and the character customization tends to provide simple but potentially meaningful choices.
