Managed to squeeze out 300 hours of free game time with the free trial version and I could have gotten much more if I wanted to level up every class to the max available level.
The story is very slow and boring, essentially a visual novel with fetch quests which you have to do in order to actually progress in the game, but it picks up after a long while.
It tends to be grindy but the possibilities for armor customization kept me going as always. Once you get through the boring filler quests at the beginning it's much more enjoyable.
7/10 so far, still have to continue with the story after Heavensward
