Through the story, and also open-world and quest mechanic, makes me can relate the struggle of the main character, Firis.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.

Crafting is similar to the previous game, it’s deep enough and you can craft anything, clothes, weapons, bombs and other items.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
9 of 166 sampled reviews raised it
Japanese interface and subtitle - maybe not so important for most users on Steam, but I should say this is a huge step forward for the major Japanese game publisher on Steam.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 166 sampled reviews raised it
Also subjective, IMO the soundtrack of this one is better than in Sophie.
