I found myself having to repeat my journeys many times, or repeat dialogues over and over again in order to unlock that next stage in the quests journey. ![]() These quests are interesting and dynamic in their execution, but there is a tendency because of the games ethos in not to be hand holding, to get a bit lost. The quests are a mixture of big story arcs to a small murder investigation to any number of random side quest that you might just chance upon. It is familiar, but feels really fresh and unique, and it never got boring unlike some other final fantasy games I’ve played in the last few years.
