Easily one of the best games of 2021. So many great and amazing gameplay features and elements and packed to the brim with great content, both story and side content. The crafting is as great as ever and it truly allows you the freedom to play the game how you like, whether you wanna do the minimum and get by as the game gives you weapons and armor through chests and shops or spend hours in the crafting menus like I did endless making yourself overpowered so the final boss is nothing. The battles are exhilarating for a speed-based ATB-style system, and you can find yourself near-endlessly chaining together skills to get the most out of your turn.

Definitely give this one a shot if the first one wasn’t holding you. This one fixes many problems and speeds the pace up immensely.
