I really just think this is a game of incredible highs and some incredible lows. Lack of RPG elements is what ultimately killed it for me, crafting is useless since everything is just a linear upgrade. You can barely customize Clive at all aside from switching out a couple moves here and there. The Eikon battles have been touted hugely and I kinda get why but ultimately even they feel repetitive despite being the games highlight overall.

I genuinely cannot bring myself to finish this game because I often just mind myself bored from walking down linear never-ending hallways which ocassionally branch off to like one potion or something. The game just loves to waste your time on nothing content. Story is overrated as hell, people just give it more respect than normal FF games because of the "realism" when its all the same Final Fantasy tropes at the end of the day.
