The good:
- The combat system is a very worked one, you can stick to one character during the entire playtrought or switch characters in every battle, each character having a very distinct combat system with its own challenges. i think there is a replay value in this, as I never played as some characters
- The Bosses are well designed and challenging specially if you go for the higher difficulty
- A lot of bossess
- The world is beautifull
- The story
Not so good:
- The regular enemies are not so varied, just stronger versions of previus ones with different element weakness.
- Some plotholes in the story
- The craft system for garnets and weapons is not so good
- The fishing system is not that inspired
- The graphic design of some closed areas or corridors are awfull.
The bad:
- The skill system is terrible, there are not ramifications or paths, and each node is unlocked by meeting certain criteria in the game, and solely depends on PH.

Should've ended at the red woman taking the orb, since it seems like there could be a second one anyways. The second part was a bit of a slog. Overall, loved the combat and the game didn't force you to grind to beat areas or bosses.
