Probably the single greatest adventure game I have played. No other game has actually made me feel like I was traveling a world and having wacky adventures with my friends like this one.

The story while entertaining is paced very weirdly though due to this and can lack a sense of urgency oftentimes. I did enjoy that though as it plays into the grand adventure in my opinion.

The last third of the game is a slog though. I feel like once I hit cosmo canyon I could feel the padding in the game start to take a toll on my enjoyment. The second last chapter is so ridiculously long compared to the others it's crazy and drags the ending out.

While the combat is fun there are times that I really didn't like it that much. The random encounters all play out the same and are so quick that i ened up just button mashing. Getting stun locked is a common occurrence and drives me insane. The ATB system is still incredibly unique and I like it more than I hate it but against some bosses and enemies it can be really frustrating.

Top 3 music in a video game all time for me and I loved all the mini games but I get why some people may not.
