The art style used to depict the world, characters, battle animations and cutscenes is absolutely amazing, clearly inspired to comic books.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
I can also make a remark that the voice acting is very well done and I really wish the entire discussions were voice acted as it does break the immersion when at times discussions happen between characters at the inn or during missions which are simply silent and feel like visual novels all the sudden.
