Started this last night (March 10th). Wanted to start it on launch day but had a birthday to attend, and then I've been sick, and then visited by my gf who doesn't wanna watch me play.

But I just got to Chapter 8, about 14 hours in.

So far I'm very addicted. The battle system is amazing, some of the boss fights are a real challenge. The story is ridiculously good, and I'm attached to every single one of the characters.

The linear thing got to me for a bit, but I'm over it. I kind of miss that open world feeling, and the option to run around town. But I never did anyway, I would always leave and continue the story.

This game has a great mix of story/battle throughout, I can't really say I've been bored of one part. As soon as it feels like I've almost been doing something for too long, they switch it up.

Anyway, I'm gonna continue playing, I just paused for a bit to get some food.
