A very unique and interesting plot.
The characters are all vivid and distinct, and they are what make the game most enjoyable.
The gameplay was good, especially the battles, but boss battles can tend to last extreme amounts of time, even at higher levels. This game brings in free run to battle. It's much more easy to work with. There are also more interesting additions to the battle system, such as the ability to change the type of techniques, and make them more powerful.
Dungeons weren't over the top amazing, but I'm always impressed how people can design these things. Cities though were great and felt as if they had more depth than previous tales series games.
Overall this game was really enjoyable, and had a good length to keep you interested for a long time.
