I'm enjoying the game so far! Back to work today after a week off, and I managed to get 61% story completion between Thursday and Sunday.

I'm a bit "eh" with mobs out in the field - enemy variety isn't great in this aspect. A lot of scorpions, crabs and bees. Fights are much more fun when you've got an enemy to stagger! Since getting the Chocobo I just bypass the enemies in areas we revisit due to them being a lower level and not really having much incentive to fight them. Exp earned through quests and hunts instead. Talking of hunts - why no hunting log? Seems weird having to remember where they are just from the board (take screenshots of the board instead).

Eikon fights are EPIC and the music goes hard!

Story has been great so far, but they advertised the game like it was going to be a "roller coaster" - the pacing is a bit off to be called that. Not so keen on the fetch quests during the main story portions.
