How close am I to the end?

I beat all the lords.

Of the story? 2/3 or 3/4, depending on how quick you are, if you do anymore side quests, and whether you fully listen to skits/cutscenes or spam the button to speed them up a little (eg, read subtitles, but don't wait for VA's to finish).

Basically not tons more, but it's not going to just take an hour, either.

Around the half...

I hear that a lot but if you just bum-rush the story, it's not all that long. It just can feel long because of all the talktalktalk exposition...

You are about 2/3rds, maybe 80% if you are faster than average (as imo the average view on how long things take in this game past this point is oddly slow... with odd complaints about CP/items/length of final dungeon and stuff). Note: There are quite a number of extra side quests from here on out that pad it quite a bit, though, not that you have to do any of it.

Much of what remains is mostly story and skits, sooooo many skits. Did I mention a lot of skits? We're talking like often 2-3 at a time with one point even having, literally, 11 in about a two room travel (final dungeon's start) plus story bits between that. Also, until you hit the final dungeon the main story stuff has basically only one super tiny area of combat and a normal dungeon from here on... so yeah, lots of story.

^ All those skits etc. are why it took me like four days to finish the story. I kept turning it off after 30 minutes to do something else, or teleporting out to do a sidequest instead, etc.

It is so anti-climactic the way they did it.

Those first five lords, I enjoyed that process. And I like goofing around with the combat, the campfire and humor bits. The rest...meh.

The game pacing kinda gets dumpstered after you beat the lords. Then it's like 80% just skits and plot until the terrible dragging final corridor hell dungeon.
