I dont understand so much hate, i am on chatper 5 too 17 hours, and the game is awesome, gameplay and music top notch, the story is not the greastest but is not bad either. People just hate, because is cool to hate Final Fantasy.
My only real problem is some minor camera angles when fighting in tight spaces.

I finished the game yesterday. Took me 103 hours, although I haven't completed everything that was available to me. I was doing side content, and then felt like doing some story bits. Got caught up into the story and had to see it through. I am now doing post game content, as well as completing the stuff I hadn't completed prior to finishing the story. And I think there's plenty of hours left for me it this game.

Now, the game may not beat FF VI for me, in its current state (Tabata said they'll keep improving it with new features, tweaks, and entirely new story elements [!!!]), but I can say that it is the most fun a FF game has been in ages. The story is actually better than I thought it would be, but there's a lot of piecing things together involved. The ending definitely is the best in the series. Very emotional one at that.

For me, it's a solid 90. There are a few annoyances, but the good easily outweigh them. Basically, the camera is annoying when there's lots of environmental assets around, like trees, and for the love of God, they need to fix the 'effin jumping when you get a "press X" action prompt!

In any case, I really like the game, and I can't wait to see how it will flourish from here, with updates and DLCs.

Mild SPOILER alert:

When does the update come? I got it yesterday and I've been playing a lot of side content, really good until now

And I'm glad it's up in reviews

That was the same shot I picked.

Lol it might actually go to 85 considering the reviews been coming in have been 90's

It has 84% on metacritic, what hate are you talking about?

Im not talking about the Critics.. im talking about the completely over the top users who  either hate or love the game like there is not middleground. 

This game doesnt deserve a 10 maybe not even a 9. But i have seen a lot of 0 , 1 and 2, i dont understand what they were expecting honestly.
