It's perfectly serviceable and has a really strong aesthetic sensibility with its mix of teen-girl glitter-bombs and ornate arcana. The pursuit system is still a favorite, and it's nice to have seen it sneak into other titles over time. Otherwise the cast, while charming, isn't my usual cup of tea and that's hard to ignore when fighters are so character-centric. I just don't think this series is for me, but it's certainly no slouch.
