The game most people say is the worst thing Square has ever done, it's really not that bad. The game is mostly menu-based and really the only active gameplay is during battle. Outside of it, the gameplay loop consists mostly of doing various jobs to get money, train stats and learn new skills, and use the money you earn to level up yer party members, improve their gear and go on outings with 'em to improve yer mood and restore yer stamina, since you'll be less effective at jobs if you don't

Once you have the recommended levels and gear, you can pick yer party and leave on a proper expedition, where you have to manage food and items long enough to make it to the goal. It's a fun semi-idle party management simulator to play while listening to a podcast or watching a stream or video, similar to Fantasy Life and the like, and really the only reason its reputation is so bad is because it used to be bundled with Octopath Traveler. That game's a completely different genre, and its fanbase is known to be pretty braindead and intolerant of games that have any amount of depth, which this game has a lot of since there's a great many mechanics to keep track of, in and out of battle

Really the game's biggest weakness is its postgame. The final story mission has a recommended level of 50, which is pretty reasonable, but the postgame superboss requires level 99 and near perfect stats, which is quite a grind.. but that's on mobile/Switch. On PC for some reason, they massively overtuned that one quest to the point where it's now literally impossible to even get to the superboss; according to the achievements, nobody's done it. I tried for a long time to push through it, but even with the perfect party setup, strats and winning the lottery in the luck department, it's just not nearly enough to make it even halfway there. The superboss itself is probably a lot easier

Welcome to walking simulator 0.02 with an added 8 hours of work from Square Enix itself by a random intern!
(Not really but you might be able to fool someone into believing that)

Game is alright as long as you don't plan on trying to get all the achevements

The last quest [spoiler](level 99 ???)[/spoiler] is complete BS
