148 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story was compelling enough to push me to finish the game.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
73 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combat is at least pretty good as far as turn-based JRPGs go.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
66 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
That being said, between the visuals, the tone, the OST, and the story/character development, it makes for a very simple, pleasant game.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
65 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This game is what you'd get if you threw Persona 4, Cardcaptor Sakura (or Sailor Moon), a crazy good soundtrack (that effortlessly blends pianos with electronic music), so much emotion and angst, and a bottle of low dosage viagra in a blender.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The use of photorealistic environment with anime characters fits the whole two worlds concept; Mel Kishida's character design translated perfectly in 3D form while still retain the illustration-like charm; and the user interface, just look at the them bby.
