Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
78 of 176 sampled reviews raised it
What initially drew me to this title is how it boasts as many as 30 recruitable characters, choice-making to branching paths, multiple endings, optional quests, and hidden areas.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
56 of 176 sampled reviews raised it
Loved the numerous optional character interactions and banter that can occur while just talking to NPCs or exploring items strewn about.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
31 of 176 sampled reviews raised it
Many different playable characters (apparently, as I didn't get to half of them).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
14 of 176 sampled reviews raised it
It's a typical RPGMaker game in presentation, but I have to admit that the graphics and music are well chosen, The locations are again lengthy and exploring them grants you a lot of usable items, but sadly not enough equipment.
