Unironically top 5 in the final fantasy series. Personally top 2. Gameplay in the main story is comfortable and easy going if you utilize the system properly, but you can also just level up like crazy and get super strong early because the game is open enough to let you go places and explore early on. The optional content is some of the best in any game, side dungeons and bosses are challenging and requires constant attention to lifebars and status effects. Story is equally as captivating with its political intrigue and focus on side characters. Lovely game
