Story: 5/5
From the very start of the game that I immediately knew it was going to be a banger. I felt completly glued to my screen about the events that unfolded as I finished the Tutorial. I was scared that after that the quality of the story might drop but I was never dissapointed!
Gameplay: 4/5
The gameplay is very good, although I kinda wished I could play with my party members as well in some sections...
It can feel a bit repetitive after you sink in some hours in this game but everytime you unlock a new Eikon, it feels fresh for a few more hours.
Sidequests: 2.5/5
I really don't like the sidequests of this game... Most of them are just boring to do. There are a few exceptions that give you some cool moments and good interactions between the characters but that's it! Just a cool cutscene that give you some context of a specific character or a cool moment.
Hunting Quests: 3.5/5
These felt a bit more pleasant and fun to do since some of the hunting quests don't tell you a lot of details about what you'll be hunting or it's exact location. You need to search for the beast and then kill it.
Music: 5/5
Banger ost and perfect for what's going on storywise. I could listen all day to almost every theme of this game without getting tired.
Overall: 4/5
I really enjoyed my time with this game and feel like it's a huge improvement over Final Fantasy 15. It's a game I recommend mainly for the story and the boss fights that are a joy to play.
In terms of a final fantasy game, I sometimes felt that it doesn't feel like it deserves it's title... It's completly different from what the series originally was but I feel it's cruel to judge the game based on it's name. On it's own it's great and you should definitely play it!
