Loved it! I'm not a fan of super hero stuff, but the first game made me a fan of Spiderman. This one was even better for me, it was everything I wanted out of an action open world game. The perfect length, great activities, utterly amazing action pieces, great characters, etc. It was very very entertaining ♥

I was pretty hyped to play it. Got through the first 5-6 hours and decided to abandon it, as the battles felt always the same and the story, characters and overall themes were boring. Everyone was praising the music but in the hours I had with it, I didn't hear any memorable song. I don't hate this game at all, is just that I was expecting to be blown away.

Thoughts after playing Part 1:
This was my second time playing the game, as I did so before when fans translated it for 3DS. I liked it better than last time, but it still felt like a big (and very long) intro to Part 2, which makes the game not really function as a standalone thing.
Thoughts after playing Part 2:
The story in this game is amazing, but it really suffer from the cast of characters not being loveable enough. Don't get me wrong, I really like the main for (Ryunosuke, Susato, Sholmes and Iris), but they have almost zero connection to the bigger plot, specially for Ryunosuke and Susato. Everything revolves around Kazuma or Barok and I don't really care a lot for them. This could have been way bigger if there was any kind of emotional toll on the player (as it did in Trials & Tribulations and other games).
I still really liked it (minus horrible pacing or stalling mechanics like the jury), it may be my top 2, 3, or 4; for sure not top 1.

I had such high hopes for this game only to be completely disappointed.
It started incredibly well for me but just went downhill after maybe the first 8 hours. Horrible pacing, terrible side-quests, inexistent characters (minus two or three). It had so much potential, the setting is great and the combat is pretty ok too but then it goes nowhere.
By the end I was dreading my time with FFXVI, trying to finish it only to get more and more filler and random encounters that frustrated me more.
It had VERY HIGH highs, but as the game drags on it goes from excellent to just mediocre.
