A game that’s filled with quality and passion you can tell the plan was to make it feel on par with PS1 era Square. I’d say it was a success in that regard minus two key parts.

First the style of open world means there really isn’t any true exploration in this large beautiful map.

The other issue is that the title can be a bit too indulgent at times, the minigames and a few story moments really should’ve been walked back.

Still, this is a title that moved me and I can’t wait to replay after I put some more time in other titles
