Positive Outlook

‘The story is good, the soundtrack is amazing, and it gives nice character development to SEES members.’ – Saizo32

‘Pretty good, both story and soundtrack work as par as always.’ – Retrosow

‘The story was pretty solid, and I would imagine that the refinements made via Reload will make it MUCH easier to beat.’ – FFPPKMN

Negative Feedback

‘Doing dungeon crawling for 20 hours really isn’t fun, it gets boring.’ – Flower_Of_Reasoning

‘The Answer in FES kinda sucks, but most of the reasons it kinda sucks seem like they’re being addressed in the Reload DLC version.’ – EveryGoodNameIsGone

‘It was too much dungeon crawling with not enough story meat on the bones to warrant its length.’ – seitaer13

Differing Opinions

‘I like it, but I also don’t mind grinding at all.’ – 12imtired1

‘The bosses are (usually) fairly interesting, the lack of compendium is a nice way to spice up the game.’ – PlsWai

‘The Answer is good but flawed, mainly due to how it’s structured.’ – Adam_The_Actor
