I had an absolute blast with this one. The amount of content on offer here is absolutely incredible. I can't even begin to imagine how much effort this must have taken to make.
Not everything is good (I really dislike Chadley), but the good outweighs the bad by a long shot.
Music is amazing. Gameplay is great. Graphics are top-notch. The open world is ...ehhh, I could have done with less of that. Some mini-games would be good enough to be their own stand-alone games (chocobo racing and queen's blood card game). You can easily find yourself trying to get the highest score, but you'll probably enjoy the game more if you don't do that.

Every character gets their own spotlight in the main story and all side-quests involve at least one of your party members in some way.

The cinematics are really beautiful and always a treat. Such a beautiful game.

Highly recommend it. I really hope the next game doesn't have Chadley or that at least there's less of him. I hate Chadley.

I really didn't like this game.
Music gets repetitive quickly.
The controls are some of the worst I've ever encountered. It feels like you're all the levels are ice levels. Momentum makes no sense. It's either too much or not enough.
There are rock-paper-scissors bosses, so unless you follow a guide, you'll lose just because of luck(luckily they always pick the same thing).
The level design at least is decent. But because of the horrible controls, I really can't enjoy it.
Only managed to play until the first castle, which I think is half of the game.
You're not missing anything by not playing this one.
