Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
As a big fan of RPGs this one ticked all the boxes for me - engaging characters, plenty of side quests, puzzles all over the place, and humour.
26 of 52 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
It reminds me greatly of the original Final Fantasy on NES but with better graphics and without the requirement to grind in forests or at sea to level up or earn money.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
These side quests—numbering over twenty—range from simple errands to more involved mini-scenarios that deepen the lore and provide tangible gameplay rewards.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
I also enjoyed that the map seemed pretty expansive without ever falling into the pitfall of other titles making the dungeons too convoluted and mazelike, I think all the areas had a fair level of difficulty and I was able to push on without being frustrated.
