idk man... I don't think I like these games that much. It took me ages to get through this and it started to feel like a chore past a certain point. The combat is just not my thing and the whole game feels bloated. I know people say "the side content is the best part" but enough of it is just rote and tedious that I eventually gave up trying to find the good stuff. The story was good, if a little meandering, and I think this game is ultimately pretty great (even if it's not my particular cup of tea) but I'm not motivated enough to continue with the main series right now and I may just skip to 7 to see if I like it better.
