Characters extremely well written and super loveable. The side chats were an absolute cherry on top of the main story.

Story was exceptional up until last few chapters, where it felt like it was padding for play time but I also understand the reason behind it. It's forgivable, but I am still slightly mad.

Insanely hard optional battles contrasted with mid-high difficulty story boss battles. This is a strategy game through and through, hard to get through the chapters based on stats alone, especially if you are a completionist.

Ridiculously thorough and detailed world-building, literally everything possible has been explained in-game except for the somewhat ambiguous ending.

Overall, good game. Looking forward to playing the next one in the series.
