I hated it at first because I struggled so much on how difficult it is without using the Plume. Apparently there is 3 possible ending and sacrificing them at first play through is actually by design. After knowing this, I felt OK about using the Plume and the difficulty became more sensible.
+ The main story is okay. I'm yet to finish all the ending so I might change my perspective later about this.
+ The world lore is a bit cliche politics but quite enjoyable.
+/- Allies and their short stories for me is the best part of the game. But since the game doesn't know if any of them was lost due to Plume, they end up soul less NPC you carry around, they will never talk again after their introductory chapters.
- SRPG-wise, I don't like it. The battle is tedious at times. Enemies are lazy. Rescue mission is hard. There is no chance to scout the field so you'll know who to bring.
