Pros & Considerations
Characters
The 108 Stars include an unusually strong mix of story-critical allies and optional castle residents
Battles
Six-person formations, runes and unite attacks create far more party variety than most PlayStation JRPGs
Systems
Headquarters growth visibly reflects recruitment and story progress
Music
Town, war and character themes are among the series' strongest
◇Consider
Missables: Several recruits and the best ending require very specific timing/conditions
