≠ Stands apart with open world exploration and exploration and discovery, while skipping action RPG combat

The best-liked entry for many: real-time combat with genuine depth once artes chain properly, and a protagonist who acts on his own judgement rather than following the usual JRPG script. Long. Its pacing sags badly in the middle act, and the Definitive Edition's added party member is poorly integrated into a story written without him.
