Story

175 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I would say that the story is actually one of its stronger points.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
129 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
On top of all that, you can just put your own character on auto mode, and not even have to input anything during combat.

-Open World : this is the next step for the franchise and its a nice step they took it with Zestiria, everything looks awesome and pretty well connected, travel around it as much as you want and the battle transition is so seamless you will feel you are playing a game without loading screens.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
-Soundtrack: the music behind the game is astonishing mainly the music from certain dungeons and the song RIsing Up inspired me so much that I have them with me all the time.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics and Performance: The game looks good, nothing spectacular or next gen but it gets the job done.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
They refreshingly managed to make it so every playable character matters (especially on the overworld), and swapping out the Seraphs during a single battle is a core aspect of gameplay.
