The Game has a lot of issue, dosent mean its bad but they do bring down the experience. And for some people it will just ruin the experience. In these times i wish steam had a Mixed option for reviews

The Game has Awful pacing issues. The main quest itself is interesting, the story of the game is interesting. But the way they sectioned off everything is so unfun it makes you want to stop playing. Especially towards the 50% point of the story


The Game does this thing where it separates the interesting bit of story and gameplay with 1 hour of boring side fetch quests.

Example : You fight big giant monster in an epic fight for an Hour, then for the next 3 missions you are force into boring fetch quest missions. Go talk to person A then go Talk to Person B who is 20 feet away then go talk to person C , then go Back to person A . Then go fight 4 random guys on path and boom mission done.

The Game tries to be an ARPG , RPG , MMORPG and just an action game at the same time. It ends up doing everything poorly. Theres not enough RPG elements to make it an RPG, so it just ends up feeling like leftovers.
The Quest design and world environments feels straight out pulled from FF14 wich makes it feel like an MMO , But its not one. Also not an ARPG like FF7 Remake. More of a hack and slash like Devil May Cry


The Game is also so easy that even boss fights feel like a chore. I played on the Action mode and i don't know why but theres no hard option. You need to finish the game a first time to unlock '' Final Fantasy '' mode. Kinda goes back to the MMO quest design. Just giving you 3-5 basic enemies and going '' Here have fun '' When i completed entire fights by using 1 ability. Then at some point even boss fights feel like a chore , because they aren't hard ( appart from the few last bosses)
I died exactly 3 times in 34 hours. 2 of these deaths are in the last 3 boss fight of the game


Then theres performances issues, I have an RX6600 with an AMD ryzen 5 3600. Wich runs the game fine. Until it dosent. Random frame drops. Sometimes the frame-rate would be at 120, then cutscene happens and after that my game starts lagging and goes down to a sluggish 20 FPS. I restart my game and BOOM all the problems are gone. The Game is poorly optimised. If you have anything under my configuration, then i would recommend not buying the game.



Characters are likeable , Clive is a top tier Final Fantasy protagonist. The Accompanying cast is also great. The combat is great the skill tree and the way Eikons swapping works is super smooth and fun. The Big Eikons boss fight are super fun and remind me a bit of Naruto Ninja Storm 4 big summons fight. And when you aren't busy doing the fetch quests , the main story is genuinely pretty good



Its a fun game, with fun combat, good characters , and a good plot. Bogged down , by awful Pacing and MMO type quests, some terrible optimisation and performance. The lack of a harder difficulty makes the game boring after the 25th hour because of the redundancy of fighting little groups of weak enemies for the 15th time
