Pros:
- Combat is fun, sessions was a unique and fun mechanic
- Enjoyed playing as all the cast members
- Lots of costumes to collect
- The upgrade systems for weapons, skills, and other mechanics is really good

Cons:
- Little to no quality of life across most aspects of the game
- Lots of wasted time in menus, battle, questing, traversing
- No way to check sidequests
- The game drags on a little too long and without the QoL it starts to feel like a drag
- Combat isn't particularly well balanced, on hard either feel too strong or too weak. Which is a shame because the few battles that they got right were lots of fun

Overall:
A fun, lighthearted JRPG to play on the switch. The story is uplifting and lightweight, the characters are interesting enough and the gameplay is decent for a relative of SMT. The only real downsides are the lack of quality of life features, and the way the game drags in most aspects; story, dungeons, travelling, etc. That being said the combat is fun, and I enjoyed the upgrade system. The music is nothing to write home about, especially from a game based around idols.
