This is a game of all time. The world and mechanics are so engaging and rewarding. Monolith soft perfected the hero/blades type system and quests to be fulfilling and also enhance your gameplay experience. A final fantasy job type system is so perfect for this series that I wish it was here all along. Having everything from the world be in service of your game experience is so flawless here. I didn’t beat the story until 180 hours in because I was glued to the screen with all the high quality side quests, this is such an rpg it’s amazing. I love games that let you really dig your teeth into it’s systems and not be ashamed it’s an rpg full of a million mechanics. It also helps that it explains these systems way better than 2.

The story is so satisfying and the main cast is my favorite yet from the series. Even the minor gripes I have with the game are just removed from my brain when I think about the love I have for the characters, twist/turns, and the more mature themes and ideas here.

I don’t want to put this game down, and it luckily has more to offer with the post game quests and dlc, but afterwards there is going to be a huge void. 10/10 game right here
