What players say

Players praise the shift to a party system with three weapon types that encourages swapping characters in combat. The game is harder than it looks, with boss fights that demand reading attack patterns. The music is excellent and the soundtrack stands out. Some note the graphics are dated, and the PC version requires a manual language change and may have controller recognition issues.
