I really liked this game too, but felt it peaked during the Titan fight and never hit the same high through the rest of the play through.
I play FF14 as well -- same team made this game -- and the side quests are a symptom of what they have in that MMO. They aren't fantastic there either.
The biggest slog: Getting to the final fight of the game only to see that its unlocked more side quests (read: busy work) before the final boss!
I had a blast with this game. I appreciated the rather more linear campaign over an open world and allowed me to stick with the story to the finish, which like you mentioned, is one of its strongest points!

For sure! I love traditional JPRGs but it was nice to not have to really grind much and just experience the story and the world
