I've played and finished the game. The battles run smoothly, very much enjoy the character banter during fights. Game art is beautiful and very unique to the series, absolutely love running around looking at the scenery.
The story is super interesting, deep and somewhat dark, which is great since not many games are brave enough to cover such topics. Though, I would have enjoyed the game 100% more if the story wasn't super overshadowed by the most cheesy, predictable anime love story that I was constantly cringing at 😞
