This is basically a game with a 10/10 first half and a 7/10 second half. It never exactly gets bad, but please lay off the HP sponges with no break mechanics Bamco.
I'd say the story is mostly worth though. It's good, even if the second half is rather rushed and full of info dump storytelling. The first half isn't like that at all though.
The first 30 hours or so are filled with some of the best exploration, areas, and storytelling I've seen in a Tales game though. If they could have kept that up the whole time, this would definitely be perfect.
9/21 edit: This game's post-game is actually really good and I recommend giving it a shot. The enemies aren't hit sponges, the bosses are fun, and you gain the levels required to fight them very quickly compared to the rest of the game. The Superboss is a treat. Odd thing to say but, I enjoyed the post-game more than the this game's last two story dungeons!
