I've never beaten the game. I've tried. I've given it chance after chance because I really want to like t he game, but yeah. So I partially agree with you here. It's less to do that it's boring though and more that there's so many very glaring flaws that just put me off from continuing. The games world, the characters, the storyline, and then the amount of side content available should make for an amazing game if everything wasn't held back by glaring issues with the gameplay. |
I tried to get through the game twice.. First time I made it about 40 hours in, second time I got 20 hours in. I actually liked the gameplay, minus the unweildy license system and the loot system which made you awkwardly avoid encounters if you wanted anything good, but it was just such a chore to get from place to place. By the end of the sandsea I was pretty much burnt out. Also a lack of real puzzles in the dungeons, and some iffy story decisions held it back. A shame because there is a lot of good stuff in there, particularly a well crafted world.
Honestly, I haven't really enjoyed a mainline Final Fantasy since 10. The MMOs are just not for me, and 13 was a mess. There are so few good JRPG series with those kinds of production values, so I REALLY want to like each one, but sadly it hasn't worked out that way.
