Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Sadly, the scenario wastes its potential by being delivered in a very formulaic "text dump, boss fight, side quests, repeat" style, the battle system's nuances become pointless due to most normal enemies being defeated in one turn and bosses having a lot of pretty animations (and a sizeable amount of hitpoints) but not doing any damage and the character designs exist in an engine that can't manage consistent lighting (from one angle it's noon, but when the camera swings around it's suddenly sunset!)
