But...there is a lot to do outside of the main missions. All the areas to free, various encounters to do, lots of challenges, and... the collectibles. So many collectibles. (Although from memory JC2 was WAY worse.) In this game, you need to "pay" to use fast travel (once unlocked), although if you do all the Shrines in the region, you can then fast travel for free there. Aside from looking them up, or stumbling across them, you aren't going to fine the shrines naturally. Fortunately, after you free an area, you get markers for where the collectibles are, including the shrines... and, side bonus, you can travel for free from that area now. So yeah, by the time you get all the shrines, you don't need the shrines. But I got them, and all the other collectibles anyway.
And there are extra side missions, aka the DLC. You can tell which bits are the DLC because the main story doesn't ever refer to them, and the cut scenes are just static images instead of full blown animated bits. They also are the same of "start the DLC mission, free areas (similar to everything else), then do the last mission". Also, big bonus, you basically get game breaking items. One mission gives you free flight. One mission gives you a big mech. And one mission gives you a big gun. Like I cruised through the last story missions easily because of that gun. Game breaking indeed. (But, hey, if they didn't want me to use it, they shouldn't have given it to me.)
