I grew up in some alternate universe where this game was hated by the majority of people, so I'm only now getting to this game, and I gotta say it's another Square hit. A great story that doesn't disappoint. The entire cast is great, and one of my favorite parts of this game is how laid-back it is for the majority of the game, slowly ramping up with memorable moments sprinkled throughout. The feeling of being on this honorable pilgrimage and learning more about the world is something you can't miss, and coming off of Final Fantasy 16, it's a great change of pace. My biggest complaint and the reason it's not a full 5 stars is that I didn't enjoy the gameplay much at all, but at the same time, I wasn't frustrated, so it's whatever.
