Story

(Endgame) As a counter to my last point... after you take care of the initial main villains, being able to make summer go on infinitely in a way that was directly addressed by the plot was really neat!
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

I also appreciate that the various mechanics have multiple uses so you'll never be furstrated about learning a mechanic for only one use.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
85 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you are OK with turn based combat and cozy games, this is a an amazing subversion of the cozy game genre.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
53 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While the art style is gorgeous, the animations and transitions are glacially slow.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
42 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
As mentioned, the soundtrack is awesome, but there's not a ton of it (though I appreciate the three normal battle themes).
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art is great, enemy character design is on point although sometimes it feels uninspired on some enemies but never lazy or boring.
