I feel like this game kind of came out of nowhere. We got a few small announcements and then nothing major until close to the release date, unlike the insane marketing blitz that was FF15. Maybe I was just out of the loop.
Anyways I’m curious if anyone has any thoughts or opinions about it? I love Final Fantasy games but this one seems so different. Tbf I haven’t played the demo, I’m planning on trying it tonight, but I’m curious what everyone thinks about such a major release.
I haven’t had any interest in FF games since the original 7, but I played the demo after I saw it on the store just for fun. I think I’m gonna buy this one.
Other than some gripes and annoyances, it’s fucking fun. Closer to dark souls combat than the weird ATB stuff they’ve had for a while.
The writing is surprisingly okay, albeit with some cringe lines here and there and and overall trope-ey lore. Some of the exposition actually didn’t feel totally out of place!
My biggest concern is about grind, as is the case with much of the series, but we’ll see I guess.
