She is constantly giving helpful tips in combat, like heal X character he took damage.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Music and the Soundtrack are some of the most praised aspects, overall, in many reviews for this game; while I don’t disagree, I feel like the regular battle music in this game is way, way, way overused, a common trend in Atlus RPGs, and it is what it is.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

The art style, effects, and character designs are stunning, and the locations themselves are beautifully crafted.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The two final party members to join your group are the cast's genuine bright spots, carrying a notch more character than everyone else and making you wish that same care had been extended to the full roster from the start.
