    • “I haven't gotten to new game plus yet like with the PS3 version (been distracted by Tales of Berseria and other games), but I'm far enough in to say there are some things I find both better and worse on a second playthrough and it all has to do with the gameplay.”
    • “The combat and other gameplay mechanics just hold it back from being 'favorite game' worthy or in my top 10.”
    • “Despite putting many hours into this game and loving it enough to buy it again remastered, I still cannot get behind the hybrid combat and other mechanics.”
  • story
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is praised for its captivating and whimsical nature, with a blend of colorful artwork and memorable music that evokes a Studio Ghibli feel.

    • “The side quests have felt mostly uninspired, with tired tropes like kill x number of baddies, or fetch this macguffin.”
    • “The broken hearted quest feels like a complete slog and is handholdy due to you having to initiate dialogue every time you want to complete it, instead of just using the magic ability when you know you have what someone needs.”
    • “Of all things in this game, the side quests have probably aged the most.”
