  • No required grind, relies mostly on monster synergy and tactics

  • Generous amount of content, including free DLCs and alternate music tracks
What could be improved:

  • Sudden difficulty spike relative to the rest of the story may turn some players off
  • Plot is basic and nothing breathtaking
