Some loose thoughts:

- The game starts slow and is very handholdy.
- Fi often repeats the same information that you just saw happening, and shows up way too often.
- The controls are so weird that I could never really 100% learn them and was still making mistakes as I was finishing the story, which was incredibly frustrating. Also traversing through the world is so slow.
- The game takes you through three different areas, which you're going to be revisiting multiple times in different combinations throughout the story. The pacing in the story itself really bad, and it feels like you're always facing imminent danger but before you can face it you actually need to go do something else elsewhere.
- This game has so many fillers like the escort missions or the silent realm, and they don't really add anything to the story just make the entire playthrough more tedious.

I really wanted to like this game and initially it was fun to play, but as I played it more and it forced me to go back and forth between the three areas and threw at me more and more distractions, in the end it left me very frustrated. I'm glad it's over now.
