Based. I'm having a ton of fun as well, might end up as my GOTY too.
My only complain is the lack of more interaction with the characters in Eternia, like the job masters and their apprentices. Would love to have more quests with them but it seems like it's just the tutorial one and that's it.
Aside from that nitpick, terrific game. I'm almost 50 hours in as well and forcing myself to advance the story to unlock all the remaining mechanics. Have a few areas explored in Ginormosia but haven't gone beyond rank 3 in any of them, and I've barely done 3 treasure groves. And I've yet to touch the town building stuff, my buddies are living like hippies right now lol.
There's so, SO MUCH content to spend hours and hours in this game it's almost scary.
Game also kinda scratches the Dragon's Dogma itch. Love making my party of npc chibis and exploring dungeons with them while gathering stuff and killing mobs.
How are you doing? Endgame is basically treasure groves (sapling dungeons) and grinding ranks in Ginormosia, no? Heard the former can get quite hard by the end of it.
