Mainlined the main story quest of A Realm Reborn so I can get to the good stuff.

Good god the MSQ is bad. It's just extremely awful fetch-quests (which the game acknowledges in character) in and around a small handful of sick setpieces.

The end of the game is the best chunk, from infiltrating Castrum Centri to the final boss. Good Final Fantasy stuff.

Looking forward to playing through the other expansions as I've heard that they are really good.
