As so many others have said at this point, godlike highs, absolutely gutter-level, sewer-level lows. And unfortunately with the way that this game is paced, it's more low moments than high moments.
I have never experienced such insane whiplash going immediately from one of the most epic, intense boss fights of my life to some of the most boring, smooth-brained MMO-esque tasks of talking to numerous NPCs in a row, fetching items, searching areas, etc.
Oh, did I say "MMO-esque"? Yeah, you can DEFINITELY tell that the FF14 team was involved in this, in all of the worst aspects.
The highs are 10/10, the lows are like 2/10. Brings it somewhere in line with the rating here.
I really wish this game was half as long as it was, with so much of the fluff cut out. People dog on FF7 remake for it's fluff, but my god is it a far more interesting and engaging overall experience than this. I never thought i would be saying this, but this game should've been "Nomura-d"
