The entire game is amazing. Ch 6 is where it falls off a little (Even though that's the general opinion). But, the game constantly hits is highs so well. I'm also not too big on the area OSTs since some recycle XC1/2 music, and some areas are just alright, nothing too special.

Really good game. In terms of story, the highs are really high, but the lows are really low. (more highs than lows though, so I love the story for the most part) I love the gameplay of this game though. This would be 3.5 stars if the gameplay stayed like XC1.

It's really good. It took me a while though to realize that it does the thing where they rely on side content to develop party members. So in the main story, the XC1 party is just there after their 'arc' is done. Shulk, the story (even though the final section is somewhat half-baked, world, and gameplay (even though it barely has any variety compared to XC2 or 3) is what kept me going.
