It's crazy how much they let you customize your team too. It's kind of a shock to think that I'm already past some 4 chapters so fast, some 9-10 hours in, when that was like half the game in previous titles. The pace of the game as a whole seems much faster than SC and especially FC which took a year to get going. The fact that 'downtime' of the previous is actually shifted to behind optional doors makes it all infinitely more palatable.
Took some getting used to for sure as I did enjoy the downtime of the previous games a bit, but I'm at Chap 4 now and really starting to appreciate it now. After some fairly standard RPGs in FC and SC, I was super surprised to see such a massive shift, to what's basically one big dungeon.
