I was skeptical, so skeptical, but y’all, it’s really actually that good. It both does and doesn’t feel like Final Fantasy, the overall story feels very FF, but the way that it’s presented feels like a season of Game of Thrones.

I like the worldbuilding and depth of the lore, the voice acting is incredible, visuals are great, and some of the vistas and set pieces have been incredible.

Boss battles are this insane spectacle that I just wasn’t expecting, it’s just non stop flashy and it gets me pumped and full of anxiety, combat system is pretty complex.

I was not happy about the idea of losing turn based or quasi turn based battles, and I never feel like I have a ‘party’ ( my happiest was with Jill and Cid ) but it still all works.

The main villain oozes mystery and is pretty creepy, and the secondary villains have been mostly memorable.

I love it.

    Prior to FF7R I hadn’t played in quite some time and if I had to guess it was probably FFXIII but it was pretty forgettable. I was skeptical of picking this up but after playing I get early FF nostalgia playing. I like your comparison to GoT because that’s what I got as well. Overall, I’ve been satisfied with the game.
