I agree with most of your criticisms, but the jumping puzzles and beach challenges I don’t really think should factor into the overall rating too much. They were deliberate nods to inane and frustrating minigames in older Final Fantasies and I think they succeeded in that regard. Anyone who has tried to assemble all the ultimate weapons in FFX knows what I’m talking about. They’re also completely optional in E33, contributing neither important lore, plot or item rewards. They can be totally ignored without consequence by anyone that doesn’t enjoy them.

Sure, I mean, I did end up skipping them. I wanted to play them but found some of them impossible, and put a lot of time into some of them. The Wimp Lo, “we designed these areas badly for nostalgia,” doesn’t really scan for me but whatever. I played FFX, but don’t remember of I tried to get ultimate weapons, I was a completionist back then too, but honestly don’t remember very much from it
