I was hooked from the start by the characters and the story. I love the soundtrack and how the music has such an impact on the game and story itself. Each character is very likable and develops very nicely, Noah and Mio work together so well as a duo and the leading protagonists. Every step of the story is so rewarding and well written that it leads to such an emotional and beautiful ending. It takes the best parts of the first two games and leaves behind the bad parts; the soundtrack, gameplay, characters, story, etc. are all so well designed and it is simply just a beautiful game. Easily my favorite of the three games.
