I got like 13 hours into this game but ultimately I gave up on it. It is simultaneously fun and very unfun at the same time. The game has a lot of cool ideas, but pretty much every one of them feels underdeveloped and half baked. A lot of the story and quests feel generic and uninteresting, and almost every quest has you walking slowly through a big, mostly empty map. I was at the Griffin quest and was excited to finally fight the thing, only for it to fly away and the NPCs to immediately tell me that it went to it's nest all the way on the other side of the map. The journey from point to point wouldn't be as bad if there were interesting things to do in between, but there's just not. The music is good... when it plays. Otherwise the game feels dead silent in a lot of places. The whole experience just feels kind of junky and unfinished.
However, like I said I did have fun with the game initially because it has a lot of fun concepts in its combat and follower system. The formula is in desperate need of modernization which is why I'm still very interested in the new game coming up. I think a modern Capcom can make something really special with the bones of this game. However, the original feels like a chore to play.
