It's a shame that most of the discussion around Tokyo Mirage are superfans of the respective series this game is a crossover of complaining about what their expectations were and not giving any credit for the end product we actually received. Tokyo Mirage Sessions is a very solid RPG, albeit very flawed as well.

The turn based combat is fantastic, allowing nuance in the customization of character skills and how they combo off each other's abilities and a slew of challenging boss battles. Another fantastic attribute to the title is the overall aesthetics. From the menu design to the pause screen, the bright and vibrant presentation has an overwhelming allure.

Unfortunately the monotony of the chapter based story structure wanes on you and the game becomes far too formulaic. A copy paste flow to each act makes the gameply loop far too predictable and the story is too lackluster to warrant the repetition.
