After multiple false starts, and starting over when the PS5 version hit - I finally finished this 3 years later.
Honestly - I hate this fucking game.
Which sucks because it gets so many things right. The presentation is incredible. The soundtrack is all time. Absolutely love the hybrid battle system.
But christ I was so bored every other chapter. The pacing in this thing is such a drag and there's so much totally unnecessary padding. Every time it starts moving and getting exciting it will absolutely come full stop for some terrible mini game or another slew of terrible side quests to find kids playing hide and seek, herd kittens, go kill 5 rats, play records for some NPCs, find some ingredients. I understand you can opt out of this stuff but I never do because I don't know if I'm about to sacrifice some sort of OP reward for doing so.
Admittedly I'm a huge trophy whore too and this is one rare case (for me) where the trophies actively make the game worse. Giving up on the notion of getting platinum about half way in definitely helped.
I love these characters and this world, and the presentation is really lights out, but goddamn is this often times such a slog to get through.
