And done. I'll probably do a final analysis once I've gathered my thoughts, but I'll do a final Pro/Cons list.

Pro:
  • SAZH!!!!!!
  • I guess I can go for the Paradox Endings now if I wanted.
  • Captain Cryptic wasn't as annoying as I thought it would be.
  • Oh hey, they stole the final boss fight from Trials of Mana's Zable Fahr boss fight...
  • I like the final boss form of Bahamut far better than the normal XIII version.


Con:
  • Thank god I already had a heads up for the ending, because it sucked.
  • Okay, to be fair with he game, I was stupidely over-leveled for the final boss battles, but overall, I found them really underwhelming and wonder why we had to fight Caius in his human form twice in a four stage boss battle. Even weirder is that I found the battles in the final dungeon a bit more challenging than the final boss gauntlet. That one fight with the souped up Behemoth with the annoying cat monsters that resist everything and debuff were more difficult overall.
  • They may have stolen he overall design of the Zable Fahr boss battle from Trials of Mana, but they certainly toned it down. Even with being over-leveled, the fight was pretty calm and I was surprised the boss didn't immediately revive he other two Bahamut's after I killed them both. Overall, the fight was just a level scaled version of the Fal'Cie Adam boss battle.
  • The final dungeon was disappointingly simple.
  • I have lots of opinions about the plot overall.
