Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
It's a beautiful story (legend) about a few young boys and girls (heroes) traveling a magi-tech fantasy country to become Bracers; guardians and helpers of the people unaffiliated with political affairs.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
So after every bit of story progression (main game mission, not side quests) I would check the jobs board at the guild if you are a completionist like me.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I'll admit the graphics threw me off a t first, I am not a die hard must be the best graphics fan but I do like good textured games.

Audio

From the triumphant Bracer themes to the melancholic piano pieces during key story moments, the soundtrack enhances every emotional beat and stands strong even as a standalone listening experience.
