This game is like a shounen anime. It's filled with anime tropes. It is a game that is obsessively focused on the main protagonist and not much else for much of it's run. Unfortunately it has one of the weakest main antagonist in the entire series. The main character is solid though. As the game gets deep into itself it begins to focus on the least interesting aspects of it and the more interesting stuff is relegated to side quests. By the end it limps to it's finish. The ending is also divisive.
When I say main antagonists in not speaking about the final boss which in some cases are the same. Sephiroth, Kuja, Vayne, Seymour, Ardyn, Kefka. The series in modern times has mostly had acceptable antagonists. Who felt like real characters and had personalities.
In the majority of cases, the follow up side quests were actually better their main mission counterparts. My only real complaint about it it though is that a lot of those bosses were essentially just reskins of the bounty hunts with the same movesets especially the one with
That’s because once that happens the story begins to shift to focus on the main antagonist who sucked all the oxygen out of it.
