This is the best FF I have seen in terms of blending the open exploration into the story that I've seen in any game after the PS1 era. This formula rocks and I'd love to see FF17 take inspiration from this style.
The combat is extremely fun, Synergy attacks really spice things up and I enjoyed seeing all the combos.
Story-wise, I loved almost all of it, the new twists and differences from the original kept me on my toes, mostly pleasantly surprised me though, like Remake there were a few missteps IMO.
The ending though... that was... something else. I knew it was gonna get weird after the way Remake ended, and I'm conflicted on this direction. I was never too big on them doing the whole multi-universe stuff in this trilogy because it just makes the story too convoluted, and it's very easy to mess up.
I'm not sure what to expect from Part 3 but we'll see how it goes.

Super fun game, possibly my favorite in the series.
I really liked the battle gameplay improvements over Yakuza LaD, guard-breaking and weaknesses are so much easier to understand, the proximity/AoE-based attacks help make the battles feel more dynamic.
Storywise it's a lot more of what you can expect but the Hawaii setting made this game feel refreshing.
The new jobs and skill inheritance system are very fun to play around with.
