the story was great and the game was pretty good but the ending was anticlimactic and felt lacking. it also kind of sucks to know that despite being there, you will never be able to open some places.
they even put in messages at the end saying to go out and do side quest and so and so in the world. "find more secrets!" ..but when i researched a bit and found out that doing those wont open the other places, i was disappointed.
..so it was kinda okay finishing it now knowing ragnarok is here rather than finishing it way back and being unsure if a DLC or 2nd game was coming at all. that wouldve been bad.
