A deeply flawed mess, but what a game. The main story is so weird. It's really good and has so many problems at the same time. The characters are amazing, the tone is good, the environment is really fun. The gameplay is ok, like the battles are ok but not really fun. There are so many boring sidequests that you can do. There are a lot of things to do in this game, and then the game just locks all that midway through the game. It becomes really cool and focused, but it's gone (except if you use a vision dog?). Anyway. The DLC episodes that are with the main story are amazing. Ok the Gladio one was so dumb. But Prompto was really fun, and Ignis was soooo good. Like, it's so so so good. Really better than the main story. This thing is a mess, and it could have been one of the best FF ever.
