Rating scale:
0.5-1 star -- The game is not only unfun, but it is barely playable thanks to glitches, bugs, or terrible design. Stay away.
1.5-2 stars -- Just poor quality. I can finish it, but I did not have fun. At least it didn't crash or have game-halting issues.
2.5-3 stars -- Middest of the mid, not bad but it should be better.
3.5-4 stars -- Game is overall solid. I can pick it up and enjoy it any time I play, but I might leave a few years in between new playthroughs or 100%-ing it. This is where I begin to recommend playing it.
4.5-5 stars -- Top tier level game. I'll always say to play a game in this tier. I'll either 100% a game here or continuously play if it's a cascading or live-service game. Playing anything here is never a chore or grind.

To preface, I competed in this game in tournaments and I'm approaching this game as a competitive game. For casuals, you can disregard this and pretend it's a 4-star review.
DLC ruined this game, FP2 specifically. They make the game much more unfun any time they appear on the screen.
Movement was nerfed from Wii U and it feels like I'm moving across lines on a grid instead of fluidly and buttery. Platforms feel sticky and hard to drop through. I'll try to do a drop-through aerial and instead I crouch on the platform and don't get my intended result. Just a clunky game at times and it's frustrating to deal with.
Auto short hop aerials are not good. I understand they remove a barrier to entry, but it should be able to be toggled on or off. I have to move my fingers quickly at times and the auto short hop can mess up what I intend to do and cost me in certain interactions.
All in all, they tried to make the game easier for bad players (not that I'm some world beater in terms of skill) and casual players. This often comes at the cost of making a game less fun overall for experienced players. I can obviously play with friends and have fun, but it is much less fun to play as a whole than previous entries in the series.

I grinded the shit out of this game and liked the world. I'm not one to bitch and moan about the booby designs and weird sex jokes. I'm an adult. The party customization was off the rails with depth and how many different ways you can do combat and form a party.
I'm going to replay this eventually because I finished this in summer 2018 and it's been too long for me to give it proper thoughts. There will be an update to this, but as of now I do like this game for the ARPG elements, the world designs, and music.

I enjoy the game, but there's a lack of GOOD single-player stuff and having official alternate format ladders would make the game godlike. Still a great sim and very functional. If it wasn't such a grind it would be fun to play side formats with friends.
