Pros: Some visually impressive boss fights, Fantastic soundtrack Cons: Story and characters are incredibly shallow, Combat is one-dimensional, repetitive, and lacks challenge, Excruciatingly tedious and boring side quests, No customization options or party members, Lacks variety of content, "Active Time Lore" is used as a crutch for lack of fleshing
A political story that eventually turns into absolute nonsense, only boss battle spectacles are the redeeming factor. If only they weren't glorified quick time events. Square basically threw all the RPG elements out in favor for a action combat system without much depth.
