Absolutely loved Nobara. She was the best friend Yuji needed, so that they could share a braincell sometimes. And I was completely devestated at her supposed death, and then again at her practical death of being featured for only a few panels, like some sort of a-ha! Moment

I think what people pull away from the combat is the feel. No, there's not much variance, but the control feel good.it' s responsive and tight. As far as story, I can agree that the "Evile Empire" trope has been a bit over used. However, in 16, absolutely loved the story, from a man-on-the ground stand point. I think they did a fantastic job utilizing the M rating for a more mature story.
