Great game, marred by a bad final act and a horrendous final boss fight.

Okay now that I've calmed down let's talk about this game a little.
Dragon Quest XI is a really Stellar game most of the way. While the story isn't incredible it tells a solid story with good characters. It's charm and atmosphere is delightful and has some of the best combat I've ever played in a JRPG. Seriously it made grinding fun for me.
Where this games loses the plot is act 3 for me. I don't like the story choices, and the final boss, for my taste, was incredibly difficult and unfair unless you do bunch of grinding to get specific weapons/powers and pep, which, already 60 hours into a game is a gigantic ass (and one too much for me).
It's not enough to spoil my time with this game, I'm considering it finished after act 2. I like the story that told more anyways. Great game.
