YMMV / SaGa Emerald Beyond

• Ensemble Dark Horse: From the moment she was announced, Formina has caught the attention of certain gamers, especially Arab and/or Muslim ones, for being a badass gun-wielding hijabi. The fact that she's tastefully and positively portrayed helps this case.
• Sequel Difficulty Drop: In comparison to Scarlet Grace, this game's most apt comparison in terms of Saga games, combat has higher customization and more opportunities to break, progression is streamlined, and in general most mechanics that would make the game brutal are pared down to merely being very hard.
• Stoic Woobie: Diva No. 5's more muted emotions early into her story do very little to distract from how lost she is. With her singing voice, name, identity, and occupation stripped from her, it is merely her status as a robot that keeps her from crumbling emotionally.
