The story is generally regarded as a significant strength of the game, featuring a vast and engaging narrative that can be followed through cutscenes, even without fluency in Japanese. While some players find the battle system less compelling, the storyline remains a redeeming quality that appeals to both casual players and collectors who may seek additional resources to enhance their understanding.
“The storyline is huge and amazing!”
“You don't have to speak Japanese to understand what they're saying; you can pretty much follow the storyline just by watching the cutscenes and figuring out what's going on.”
“The battle system can get rather boring; this would have been resolved if I could understand the language. So in general, the story is the only redeeming quality.”
“I took Japanese in middle school, so I can kind of understand the gist of the story.”
“But if you're a collector and are okay with watching a video on YouTube or reading the synopsis for the story, you're going to love this.”
