Man these sidequests... why? Yesterday night I played 1 hours doing 6 sidequests that were boring like hell... gone sleep after that.
I'm trying to rush them to focus on story that is better (yeap I do sidequests whatever they show because I don't like to left things to later).

Another evening. The game is incredible. Someohow it is better each evening. If it won't be my goty this year, then I will be surprised.
It looks incredible, it's emotional.. I make audible "wow, whoa man!" sounds when I play and that never happens lol.

More near endgame shots + babes. Damn this game!!!

The game is a lot longer than I thought I understand why people said there is some pacing issue. I keep getting sidetracked.

Just do the ones with the + sign. Do you do every sidequests in mmos, Zelda, Assassin’s Creed or jrpgs like Xenoblade or Persona? Even The Witcher had tons of shit I never looked at.

Yea I’m glad I still got a ways to go. I’m at the desert town now and still seems like there’s a lot of game left.

I’m doing every side quest and hunt along the way tho. But I don’t consider it too much padding. Just kinda middling padding.

There’s not enough gear and loot in the game. The buildcrafting aspect is kinda like devoid here. Ragnarok does that so much better. I still only mostly see “stats go up” items etc. That’s bad loot. Actual desirable chases tied to sidequests would’ve remedied the sterile feeling to these sidequests for sure.

I consider this the sequel to Tales of Vesperia. And seeing how that is previously my all time favorite action jrpg … and the similarities here with both Clive and Torgal to Vesperia’s main characters… and the old school layout to world and gam design.

… I have many criticisms but this is the most I’ve enjoyed final fantasy since ff9. Great game

Holy Moses…

Welp, just did that Titan fight everyone spoke about.

That was an experience that I haven’t really enjoyed the likes of since Asura’s Wrath. Yea it was a bit scripted and on rails but still fun and I enjoy the spectacle of it all. The Attack on Titan and Shin Gojira vibes definitely welcomed as was the unexpected direction for the soundtrack.

Motion blur patch when? I really want to tone it down a notch. It’s too much. My only gripe with the game.

The Otto one was great, some of them are a little basic but overall they are a big step up from the first half of the game

It isn't how basic they are, but how good the writing is. Even basic ones has great writing where you are interested what they want to say etc..
It is impossible to make all side quests big, meaninful and branching.

Sure, but them being basic can be distracting from the writing
