This is a game so powerful in its ambition and realization of 25 year old dreams that it feels like it shouldn't exist. Definitely flawed in certain areas, but the multitude of extravagant lusciously-detailed JRPG cities, impeccable character writing, and engaging action combat make up for anything and everything. This feels like a videogame from an alternate timeline. Its an incredible and monumental achievement in the creation of digital worlds. This game has the type of charisma, whimsy, heart and charm that has been sorely lacking from AAA efforts for the past decade. I'm so glad I got to have this experience and I can't wait to see what new old worlds they'll invent for Part 3.
