I actually think Fang and Lightning are the weakest members of the story, character wise that is.


Sahz and Snow, however, completely steal the show. Vanille is pretty awesome too.

The story has great build up and character building, all until the 'big reveal' after chapter 11, though the Characters themselves are really amazing.

And I don't really see what all this 'open world' is about. Really it just 'hey, instead of the story, go kill this smurfer for a diversion instead'. Nothing really that great to be honest.

Though most of the areas are amazing, the cast and VA's are top notch, and the battle system is solid and engaging.
