I played the demo, at first I didn't really like it because, as
@Terraforce said, it throws you a bunch of names non-stop in the face, but at Chapter III (and after changing the VA to Japanese) it started to click. I might like it quite a bit if it doesn't drag on like Octopath did.
But still, as someone who memorizes faces much more easily than names, I think putting the faces of characters in the dialog boxes would make it much easier to follow, especially in a game who wants to be serious and kinda realistic on the character design as this one. Just let me enable something like that :
