Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
It is definitely some uncanny valley stuff going on with everyone looking like anime characters, but they use semi-realistic skin textures which makes a lot of the characters (particularly the males) look pretty creepy and unsettling.
56 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Gameplay in The Last Hope centers around fast-paced, real-time combat with a party of up to four characters, each with their own distinct playstyle and skill set.
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
(I played with Japanese voices - and note, I do speak Japanese fairly fluently, though English is my first language) 95% fully voiced, subtitles are well translated and localized.
