I really liked the game up to the end, the characters art, the relationships I love Alexi, character development and even the morale dilemna though it was introduced near the end and wasn't much touched other than two occasions right after. 

Though I was a bit disappointed how during the ending fight other than the two basic skills none of the others were mentionned even if they would have been told to be too weak or not useful enough which makes it feel like all the skills you accumulated were glanced over for this part.

For the ending  story itself while I'm a bit split about it, I don't mind what happened even if I'm sad the MC won't get the chance to attend the academy (I still had 1% hope that they could learn others magic and have them as skills or else after speaking to the dean they wouldn't really have a reason to stay there...). I thought they would have ended up probably gone adventuring (with some of the Guilds' (re)quests or not) for answers around the world or the likes.

While I wish there was more to this story I understand that it has been several years since any update so I won't get my hopes up.

One final thing that was jarring at times was the old man still having the same sprite/art all along while his daughter changed several times (though I know she is a very important character) and even Mako  or the final boss himself having a (really cool by the way) art that really contrasts the old man (with his very old art) when they are fighting.

I probably forgot to mention others details but overall I think this game was amazing!
