I finished it and I enjoyed it for what it was. Around 60 hours and I've done the secret dungeon and all the normal dungeons but not the vault stuff. Done most side quests too.
I liked the world and liked exploring and seeing stuff. I liked the guys and their relationship. I liked Prompto taking pictures and how it factored into the ending and credits, very nice touch. I liked the Regalia and driving about. I like the summons and how they are the most impressive and scary yet.
Don't really like how so much of the story just seems left out. How you need Kingsglaive to get an idea of what is going on at the start and how Luna has the ring but then the game also pretty much ignores the giant, massive demon/old king war that levelled the city. Don't like how characters like the emperor were just nothing and how Ravus just flip flops allegiances in a note.
There is a lot I like about the game though, I think it looks great and some areas are super cool. I like the music and characters (of the ones we have time to get to know). I liked the time skip. Really does feel "rushed" though, like there are just plot threads that are just explained and that is it, stuff told through notes, a lot of telling but not much showing.
Had nice set pieces though. I really think they spent too much time and effort trying to make a massive open world and not enough time working on a story to fit it, or having a plan for a story that didn't fit the open world. Maybe it'd have been better if they didn't scrap and redo the game so many times and instead just stuck with what it was originally? Definitely doesn't feel like 10 years of work.
Pretty sure the DLCs will take place during the game. Like Gladiolus' gets his when he goes off to do "stuff" when you're off getting mythril, Ignis' will have his during the Leviathan stuff where he loses his sight and Prompto will have his when he gets knocked off the train.
All super telegraphed "Character story DLC here" moments.
Though it'd be nice if we saw more of the World of Ruin and got to play as the guys during Noctis' ten year nap time.
