Players most often praise the main story and characters, soundtrack, large-scale Eikon battles, and combat spectacle. Common complaints focus on long cutscenes, uneven pacing, repetitive side quests, empty-feeling areas, and shallow RPG systems; some players also find combat repetitive and too dependent on ability cooldowns.
