Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Characters sprites and portraits for almost everyone are completely original and (IMHO) neatly detailed, on top of having multiple poses and expressions.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Short version: it's a neat "traditional" JRPG with interesting gameplay mechanics and a distinct presentation that stands above the average RPGMaker title.

I think this is an rpgmaker game but it has a lot of original graphics and they look really good.
