I've had it for a week and am maybe a little more than halfway through. What the game is trying to do and what it wants you to do are executed extremely well. There are things the game doesn't do as well as other Final Fantasy games too, for example, exploration is not well rewarded and you are almost better off going directly between points A and B during your main and side quests and not wasting a lot of time off of those paths. The story is fantastic, the combat works very well, the hunt marks are fun and can be challenging. It is highly enjoyable for me. I don't typically love doing tons of sidequests, but I havent skipped any so far because they aren't too daunting. It is heavy with cutscenes, and the balance between watching cutscens and actually playing can be off at times, but they are well done and engaging for the most part. I'd give it a 9/10 if I were scoring. Its a lot of fun, and like I said the things it is really trying to focus on it really nails.
