to start this off, this game is so long it has taken me 5 or so months to beat and yes that took away from my enjoyment but to be fair the length has to be the only thing i dislike about this game., other than that everything about this game is to be loved the combat is so graceful and impactful the voice acting is PEAK and the boss fights are something to be studied by philosophers to find out HOW THEY WERE MADE WITH SUCH CARE AND ENJOYMENT i think i have only ever been this ramped up and hyped fighting bosses with the souls games. what truly makes this game great is the story. this is the second final fantasy game ive played to completion and its my favorite of the 2 with the first being ff15 the character building motives and just everything is so great. i can say proudly that in the finaly sequence of the game in the last mission i genuinely cried and i think that it had so much build up and did not let down. i will be playing the dlc one day but not for a while. all in all i recommend this game to final fantasy lovers, rpg lovers, dmc fans but i do not recommend this game to someone who has a very busy life as you do need to put a lot of time into this game 9/10
