V had the deepest mechanics, X-2 is close but it isn't fleshed out as V. X is interesting until you find out that summons are only good for meat shields and Quick Hit is broken af.
 
I got through the first 5-6 hours today. It's fun, but the DMC style combat is probably my least favorite aspect of the game. My hand actually started cramping a couple times. Because of that, I do have two of the auto accessories equipped, one of them being the ring that gives commands to Torgal. Fighting just one or a few enemies at a time is simple, but it's a whole other story if there's a group of them and/or they're particularly tanky. It can get overwhelming fast, so I don't fault people for using the rings.

Story is fine so far, feels a little like a mix of XIII and XV's. I really like Cid.

Does Torgal's Cure ever get stronger, by the way? I don't rely on him for healing but I noticed he doesn't really help out much in that area.

And lots of damage sponges. Played it on hard and some stuff just took ages to go down and things didn't change much from when you started the game outside of having much better chips.

The only real damage sponge I recall ever hitting was that robot "sensei" sidequest who gets beefier the more you progress in the quest, and even then, with the right chip setup, you can still make him paper.

Even the whole big Ending Y battle can be turned into a joke if you run the right chips.
 
Anyone else think the character models between Jill and Larsa from FF12 are pretty similar?

30 hours in give or take and having a blast. No, it's not a traditional RPG, but I am a big DMC fan and the tropes are all there for a fun Final Fantasy story. FFIV is my all time favorite so whatever.

Was great to see a spoony bard reference lol.

My brother in Christ, I'm 10 hours in and so far it's barely a fucking game, let alone an RPG. Between the claustrophobic design that takes the controls away from you every five steps and writing that comes across as Babby's First Witcher, I've spent the entire time astonished that Yoshi P was involved with this. MGS4 had more player agency and fewer (better) cutscenes. The Eikon battles are beautiful but more braindead than Asura's Wrath. Yes, the regular battle system is fun, for the brief stretches you're allowed to interact with the game between episodes of Great Value Game of Thrones.

i don't get the hype for this one at all. I'm already ready to tap out, and that's from someone that believed XIV's dev team could do no wrong.

Fair enough. I'm not here to argue the point. I'm just enjoying the music, combat, visuals, Cid, and the fact that we're back to darker fantasy rather than whatever it was FF15 as well as with FF7 being back in the limelight.

I'll be back to finishing Persona 5 for my traditional turn-based itch after this and I'm looking forward to Star Ocean 2nd remake later on (also please give me a Legend of Dragoon remake), but for now, I'm having fun. Though, I also enjoy the utter lunacy and cutscene heavy Kojima games, so don't mind me.

Honestly, I get you. I am enjoying the game myself but I don't know if I'd say it deserves the high 90's and 5/5 scoring it's been getting across the board. The hype was extremely exaggerated. And frankly, I think a lot of it came purely from the graphics and cinematic battle system/boss fights. Like yeah, it's a feast for the eyes, but not anything groundbreaking.

CRAZY exaggerated hype. "The best Final Fantasy in 23 Years!" Those perfect scores are going to age like milk once the shock and awe of the visuals wear off.

It is for sure beautiful, though.

In other words: it's a Final Fantasy game.
 
Apparently Dion isn't gay enough, and is a terrible representation. Did people want every scene involving him to grind to a halt so he could spend 30 minutes talking about how much he loves sucking dick and getting fucked in the ass?
