It is the usual Megaten battle system only heavily revamped to make it the best in the series (for now, persona 5 is creeping up). I have never had so much fun battling enemies in a jrpg since xenoblade and tales of vesperia. The dungeons are also very cool and overall do their jobs as representing some form of an art such as photography and fashion. Not to big on the Jpop idol theme and the story is not amazing, but the gameplay is just so amazing.
   
   Note: there is also some censorship in areas like cgi cutscenes and dungeons, but it does not affect gameplay at all. Censorship makes the story bit wonky in photography dungeon but that is it.… Expand

   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game have probably the best battle system ever! The session attacks make for "flow" in the battles and with lots of customisation which is required to optimize for the games secret last boss. If you think this game is a new fire emblem you gonna get disappointed though...… Expand

   Oh I love this game so much ! It's so fun, so bubbly, colorful, cute, full of nice songs. The combat is fluid and fun, but after some grindingOh I love this game so much ! It's so fun, so bubbly, colorful, cute, full of nice songs. The combat is fluid and fun, but after some grinding you can get somewhat bored of it. Also the censures from the oriental version to the occidental version are totally pointless. There was no need for that :( Besides this is an incredible game and must for those who really like JRPGS, Cute stuff or simple RPGs like me… Expand

   Gorgeous art style, excellent gameplay... we're going through something of a JRPG renaissance, and it's fantastic. I would say we JRPG fansGorgeous art style, excellent gameplay... we're going through something of a JRPG renaissance, and it's fantastic. I would say we JRPG fans are "getting spoiled", but then I remember how good bro-dude gamers have it with endless waves of FPS and sports games. Now THAT'S getting spoiled.
   
   Now the hot topic: censorship. Is it annoying? Sure. Is it a big deal? Not particularly, but if we buy censored games, we're sending the message that it's okay... which certainly isn't great. But not buying a game purely because of this issue doesn't necessarily mean that the game's publisher will get the message that it's because of censorship. And personally, I think buying games like TMS#FE to send the message that we want more good JRPGs to be produced and/or localized is far more important and more likely to get across to the publisher than not buying them because of minor qualms with how they're being localized. Besides, the fact that battle dialog isn't even subtitled is a bigger issue than the fact that some sauciness was toned down.… Expand

   +Likeable characters
   +Solid combat, much like Persona. However you do not get a massive repertoire of demons to use. Each character gets one fighter to use but each comes with a long list of weapons. Abilities are learned through weapons. Three characters can fight at a time but can be easily swapped out in battle while still maintaining their turn. This allows you to use each character on the fly as needed.
   +Makes good use of the tablet. Excellent mini-maps. Character and enemy details are also provided on it.
   -No English dub inevitably will make you feel like you're missing out on the lines that do not have subtitles
   -Cringeworthy k-pop/high pitched singing cutscenes
   -The game does not handle hard mode well. Instead of an increase in AI, you will see an increase in HP and long, needlessly dragged out battles. The only way to counter this is to grind. I do not recommend hard mode. It is not hard for those familiar with the Persona series. Instead it feels dragged out past the point of fun.
   -Predictable/forgettable story
   -Too many fetch quests
   -Too many puzzles a monkey could do, that only serve to prolong the length of the game
   
   Also note:
   The gameplay is 80% Persona, 20% Fire Emblem.
   Music is average.
   No points were deducted on the count of censorship.… Expand
