Will take a while to finish the other endings so I'm writing this based on my first playthrough because I wanted to recommend it. It's a solid story that you can go through once but will ultimately benefit from achieving the other endings to get the bigger picture and unravel the mysteries. This is primarily a story game, the tactics gameplay will be secondary if that is your consideration.

Story:
Excellent mystery throughout, keeping you from achieving the bigger picture but you can still piece together bits of information to figure out what is going on or what is likely to happen. There are no investigation activities or debate minigames like in Danganronpa but piecing together the events and how it relates is a big part of enjoying the story.

Combat:
Fairly good. It encourages a high risk playstyle where you get your characters killed for additional style points (nice kills). This gains you a higher net of BP alongside killing enemies which can then be used to upgrade a characters abilities. This means that it is relatively quick. I could see it getting more tedious or repetitive as you'll likely have to play certain battles again whilst going through the other endings.

Characters:
The initial impressions you will have upon meeting the characters will be less than stellar and you'll probably even roll your eyes as they seem to be caricatures or exaggerated tropes. However, due to the nature of the game, there is more time to explore their story, background and they undergo character arcs that transform them beyond this. They also bounce off well with the other character cast which keeps the dialogue refreshing. Only exception to the rule is 1 character that is probably the vehicle of jokes. Character moments are mostly confined to the story although you might get tidbits if you spend your free time with them. I will reserve some judgement because I have not gone through the other endings, which can explore more of the characters further.

Voice acting and soundtrack:
Based on JP va, it's really good. Soundtrack is really solid too.
