The ending is fine imo, it's the rest of the game that's meh. It's got some of most mediocre sidequests I've ever played. They're not bad per se, there's just too many pointless ones, and the rewards you get are dogshit.I finally started playing Final Fantasy XVI. I had it since launch, but I was in a clinic during that period. Played the first 4 hours and it's amazing so far. I hope some of the cities on the map can be visited and will be larger than the maps so far, but man, that first forest area was dense and looked incredible. Love the soundtrack and the setup for the story, though I've tempered my expectations a bit, since I've read that many people aren't too fond of the ending.
