Now the combat, i find the combat really fun, it's really easy so it's all about finding the coolest setups and always try to get that perfect stagger setup, the dlc additions are very nice too, it's just a easier/simpler DMC but it's still fun.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
68 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting is phenomenal, Clive and Cid are hot, and the Active Time Lore system is one of the best QOL features I've seen, it lets you catch up on story details at any point during gameplay without interrupting the experience.
