Ten days boys, been waiting a fucking decade for this game. I am excite. Who's with me?

For those of you who have played it, any thoughts? Thinking about picking it up, especially if the supposed multiplayer part is any good.
As someone who isn't a FF-lifer, would you say that I wouldn't be as bothered by the plot stuff?How in depth do you want me to get? LOL. The combat is pretty excellent once you get good at it, the combat will keep you coming back. The story itself is pretty cool BUT, big but, the plot exposition is terrible. Terrible doesn't even justify it, its more like non-existent at times. I'm a big FF-lifer and the story just isn't there, literally.
Another thing worth mentioning is that the main story itself can be beaten in ten to fifteen hours, side quests and monster hunts take up the other 60 or so hours and while the hunts are always good, the sidequests range from decent to awful. But again, the combat should keep you going.
I finished the game in 61 hours and have done about 10 hours of post-game content which has been mostly enjoyable.
6 DLC chapters are supposed to release within the year, one for each of the bros and three unknown chapters.
As far as multiplayer is concerned, you might as well pretend it doesn't exist because no one knows what it entails and when it will be available. My guess is it won't be out until mid-spring.

And for multiplayer, I only know it's supposed to come out after at least 3 of the DLCs, probably the character ones. That won't be a make or break decision for if I get it though.
Out of curiosity, how far did you get before you came to that conclusion?I picked this up before the holidays and couldn't get into it. Pretty much lost interest in it because the story is terrible. I generally can't just roam around or play role playing games just for the combat so I'm guessing I won't be touching this again until the summer if I get bored.

Yeah from what I'm told much of the backstory for this game is contained in that movie and some extra anime things. Perhaps everything would be much more compelling after watching those.
Prompto is probably my least favorite character. Not a huge fan of the whole regular guy who gets to be friends with the prince because the prince was nice thing. That backstory doesn't really help any of that.I actually tried watching some of it but I got bored when they had the story of Prompto who was some fat kid in Noctis' class who decided before he could talk to Noctis, he had to lose weight. Shit was creepy as fuck.
