I’ve just finished it for a second time, and I love it. Feels like it’s a return to the snes games, mixed with Game of Thrones and completely new gameplay.

    I really enjoyed it! The story is intriguing so far, and a lot more mature that standard FF fare, which was jarring (but in a good way). Definitely a lot darker than previous installments. Love the return to the more classic fantasy setting. Combat was fun, I’m curious how it expands with the additional Eikons, but it flows nicely. Music was excellent as expected and the world looks really cool. Voice acting is really well done too. Interesting to hear Lorath from D4 so soon, that guy’s getting into a lot of games recently lol. My main complaint is the motion blur when moving the camera, it is a bit dizzying and I hope it isn’t as bad in the final version. Pretty minor though, I really enjoyed the demo as a whole and am excited for release in 9 days.

    I played it and my general thought about it it, that it’s quite good so far. The Eikon battles feel nice and mostly on a technical side it’s good. Enjoy the Morbol battle as well. I think the movement is a bit slow or you got interrupted in movement, but it’s fine so far. And the scenery when we hunt goblins looks quite good. But i don’t like that this game looks like a generic fantasy setting. Sure there are chocobos, but it’s not as edgy as ffVII. Just usual knights and worker are in the castle, no special race, no mogry. As a long Final fantasy Fan i often don’t see it as a final fantasy game. I hope that get at least a bit better. I will get this game day 1 and hope I enjoy it.

    I think this is the big one we’ve been waiting for. Only tiny gripe is that the QTEs freeze framing is a little silly in the year 2023. I feel like Asura’s Wrath solved QTEs a decade ago.

    Combat was a little dull and I think that any media these days that follows a medieval and political themes will be related to GoT but really I don’t see much resemblance.

    I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it though. Might actually pick it up!
