Final Fantasy is an absolute rollercoaster of an RPG with the story, weapons, unlockable content, dungeons, characters, worldbuilding, and an abundance of driving (seriously there's so much driving) the world that this game sets you in can almost be overwhelming when you understand the scale of it for the first time. But nonetheless, when I sat down and picked up my controller, I would play for hours and hours, encounter after encounter, cutscene to cutscene. And I would still play 100s of hours more because that's how big of a sinkhole Final Fantasy 15 is. And with the inclusion of bounties, royal armaments, skill trees for all 4 party members, weapons and accessories, and (unsurprisingly) side quests, there's nothing short of tasks to cross off in this game and I enjoyed every second of it, even the miscellaneous content like the camera mode and fishing are fun to fiddle around with and explore, even if I bolted through the entire story and boss fights, I would most likely still give it a high rating and a myriad of praises and an extensive review just as long as this about only the narrative and characters This was by far one of the most enjoyable platinums that I've had the pleasure of achieving because achievements like unlocking all royal armaments are not only challenging but enjoyable to sink time into(Ignore that survival expert exists we all know that achievement sucks). Nothing in this game feels like a hassle to do and what's even better is that all of it is entirely optional. Although I do see others with less-than-ideal opinions on the game those outlooks are completely understandable and entirely right in their own way, The game can be messy, clunky, all over the place, and just borderline lackluster in specific portions this game is far from perfect and barely qualified for polish, But I believe that this is by far the most fun I've had in a final fantasy game and I highly encourage others to try the game out for themselves if you're ever curious about it because the only way to find out is to see it yourself firsthand, if you like it, you'll love it.
