It is very beautiful

Great music
The well-thought-out combat system

GameOver
The "holy trinity" of the structure of a classic JRPG (Events, Combat, Journey) in perfect harmony.
Great soundtrack.
Excellent side stories. Sometimes humorously, sometimes dark, sometimes weird.
First-rate implementation of a traditional turn-based combat system
Diverse and multidimensional cast of characters, protagonists and competitors.
Pure content, without the existence of random encounters or any form of grinding.
Balanced gameplay and strong direction, which keep the rhythm alive and interest intact.
He would benefit from a "rules" submenu as a reminder, where he would keep all the tutorials together.
In the same vein, a rich codex of fiction gathered where we could refer would also be welcome.
A list of the latest new items for quick reading would serve.
He set the bar high for Sea of Stars and Eiyuden Chronicles.

ActuGaming
A rather dark story, endearing characters and an attractive universe carried by a very good pen?
Rich and well-oiled gameplay?
Strategic turn-based confrontations rather demanding and gripping (boss fights in mind)?
A well thought-out level design overall?
A retro art direction enjoyable to the ? he?
Excellent lifespan for the genre
Attractive introductory price (24.99?) and available day one in Xbox Game Pass
? Despite a first act too slow and sluggish
? Which requires a time of adaptation to grasp all the subtleties
? Too bad the difficulty of Act I is so badly dosed
? But not perfect, the fault of a design logic that can sometimes escape us
? Which can affect the readability of the level design
A PSX soundtrack that never makes an impression
Small problems of finish and location here and there

Some instances in the writing where the author shows his hand too much
There are a few suspicious looking character portraits that look like redraws
