I'll break down my thoughts into pros and cons

Pros:-
- Fantastic, deep and extremely fun combat system
- Huge, immersive and well-designed world to explore
- Stunning environments
- Excellent sense of pacing
- The towns are full of life. Each NPC has its own schedule. It's addicting to talk to every NPC.
- It's fun to watch and change the relationships between NPCs in the affinity chart
- Great customizations
- Exceptionally non-linear and great teleporting system. You can almost go wherever you want at any time.
- Hundreds of addicting side quests
- Overall well-balanced characters
- Lack of loading times while exploring
- The transition between day and night is lovely with the music changing and the environments changing
- The difficulty is just right. Challenging but isn't frustrating.
- Good music
- Enjoyable cut-scenes
- The ability to choose JP voice acting (although the ENG voice acting isn't bad at all)
- Has achievements
- It takes 50h to finish the story and 130h-170h to finish everything

Cons:-
- The story is average and predictable
- Bad character and equipment models
- Framerate issues during big battles
- Unexciting final battle and an unsatisfying ending
- Too much talking during battles
- Extremely hard to find where to go during side quests (and finding a certain NPC)
- The game punishes you for exploring and doing side quests by overleveling you
- Although addicting, the side quests can get really repetitive
- Lack of enemies bestiary. The game really had everything. They should've added a bestiary.


Overall (9/10): Excellent game that you shouldn't miss. If you're an American, MOD YOUR Wii and IMPORT---IT---NOW

That's no good, seeing as this is a Xeno game. Is it really not that good?

I found it quite good and engaging
