A masterpiece from beginning to end. Loved the story, the characters, the combat (which somehow improved on Remake's very solid foundation), and the world that Square Enix has managed to build. It is extremely rare that I will go to the trouble of 100%ing an open world game and yet around every corner I was continuously rewarded for my efforts with meaningful character moments and relevant gameplay items. This game was an absolute joy to play through and after 100%ing the game in its normal difficulty, I am itching to dive back in to hard mode and test the limits of this combat system.
