S*** fun as hell tho ngl

But I don’t understand how. She has no personality. She’s just acts as support for Clive (when she actually says something).

The only thing she has is the Iron Kingdom thing, which is resolved within like half an hour of her bringing it up and then that’s kind of it for her, they immediately move on from it.

Compare her to Aerith or Tifa, she’s a total nonentity. Hell, Tifa even has the childhood friend angle too.

I feel like she's written as an adult while Tifa and Aeris are teenage romcom tropes

Sure, she’s written more as an adult in terms of mannerisms, yet narratively she’s treated more like a child compared to those two.

I feel like she’s spends like half the game recovering in the clinic, or just kind of hovering around in the scenes that she is in.

I agree she could've benefited from more screentime

10/10 game and im not done yet
Final Fantasy is back
Turn based karen b****es can cry their hearts out but it don’t matter

Jill

wish there was more to customize as you level up. kinda feels negligible every time I ding and all my abilities are already maxed the way I want

Yep GOTY

The loud minority really funny tho

Just sitting around in here waiting for negative comments to echo lol s*** weird. Game isn’t perfect but the lows aren’t that low and the highs are super high.

She’s wife

At this point I’m roleplaying as Clive when it comes to SQs.

“You want me to gather ingredients for your f***ing recipe when the world is on the brink of destruction? F*** OFF.”

"CLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEE"

I was rooting for these two broken dorks to hook up the entire time

You were the most hyped dude in here too

I mean I’m not a fanboy. Doesn’t matter how excited I am for something, if I have issues with it I’m not gonna pretend otherwise.

I’m not one to be blinded by IP.

holy s*** have you played any other FF games? every turn based FF is hard as s*** at certain parts

omg look at this mf talking out his ass y’all

You haven't lied yet

Gav clears the entire supporting cast so hard it’s crazy

Don’t even know if it’s intentional but that’s how it ended up

I mean…in your review you noted how poor most of the side quests, content, RPG mechanics, exploration and rewards, etc are yet you only docked it .5 points for all of that

If literally 90% of the gameplay amounts to .5 points to you then that’s fine but it matters much more to most people

You even said weird s*** like understanding why the game is easy as hell because “This is story based game where the pacing matters, and if you are sitting there dying to a boss 10-100 times to figure out it’s move set, it is going to break immersion”

Like what? The pacing of the game is objectively terrible and the structure is the same for 85% of the game and never improves.

You’re def looking at the game with rose tinted glasses for whatever reason then blame criticism on a loud minority.

It’s all good tho. As fans of the franchise let’s just hope they get their act together for 17

Really because every FF game I've played except for this and 7 remake had some parts that were hard af

turn based is fine that enemies are easy because you strategically configured your team correctly.

action based combat needs to constantly be putting the player on their toes and provide all the tools to get out of a bad situation. this game gives you all the tools yet rarely gives you a reason to use all of them other than the pure bliss of wombo combo effects.

It’s crazy that most of us aren’t explicitly even asking for straight up turn based yet the default response to criticizing the combat is “lol turn based boomer”

Red bar enemies lack any type of aggression whatsoever. Boss attacks are extremely slow and telegraphed and not in a fake you out feint kind of way. Like most of them are just slow.

The best bosses are the ones that have you dodging 2 or 3 things simultaneously which actually makes you put just a little more thought into positioning.

Your core combat abilities are fully upgraded within the first few hours and never evolve past that (stinger, stomp, downward thrust, burning blade/charge magic). After that you’re just waiting hours to unlock a few new cooldown based abilities which can pretty much end trash encounters in seconds or you just save to dump during staggers vs bosses.

At least in like DMC there are several move upgrades and you’re still buying combat upgrades well into the game and adding things to your core arsenal

At the start of the game I fought everything. I remember walking towards Garuda but having to make time to kill every single harpy in that big ass field. But eventually this game got to a point halfway through where I actively hopped on my chocobo and avoided every single encounter unless I had to fight something for a quest or story.

We needed different weapon types, more moves, gear that changes your moves, something to keep it fresh for 50+ hours
