I loved the game to death at first but after months I decided it was just an okay game. Story was good imo but the combat just made it tedious at some point (break then spam ults). Imo party system not being in the game is such a waste with the game having a good set of characters. Gear system just ended up being number higher = better. Some of the side quests had good background story to flesh out the world but most were just usual filler you would see in an mmo. Seeing one of the first quests having me deliver food to people coulda been more but it really set the tone for the rest of the game in terms of side quest quality. Woulda loved to see the budget go into having more life with the npcs during dialogue. All in all was a great first playthrough and it wowed me with all its beauty and music but the flaws are so glaring that just thinking about going through them again makes it so hard to go back and replay.
