Pros: incredible English voice acting, combat has DMC levels of ingenuity for combos, self styled difficulty levels, somehow managed to make a game of thrones story while throwing in Godzilla monster sized epic fights.
Cons: the stagger system can feel boring, especially in mini boss fights.
I would recommend the game alone for the cinematics, voice acting, and not needing to shoehorn any diversity. The monster design and detail on even goblins to be vicious little Pygmies.
Sounds fun, but doesn't sound like Final Fantasy. But then I haven't played one since IX because none since then have sounded like Final Fantasy to me.
Been kind of a common theme. My favorite series have all gone in directions that make them unrecognizable as what made them my favorites. Metroid, FF, Zelda ... they're being made for other people now.
It’s final fantasy in every sense lore, cosmetic, and style wise. The fights are a massive upgrade from 15 to include real time control of a companion (dog) to assist in everything from follow up attacks to healing. It’s definitely not the turn based of the older ones, but they’ve been pushing away from that for over a decade now.
Yeah, but I play games for the game mechanics. Not the lore, cosmetics, or style. That's all secondary to the core game.
If I wanted an action game, I'd just get an action game.
