- Goated story, absolutely SSSS++ tier. I honestly have never played a game with such serious, adult, large, and complex themes

- Incredible graphics
I'm one of those players who repeated the first battle until the entire party was level 99 before moving to the second, though (which actually made the game harder). So ymmv
