Luckily it’s got a great story so far cause the gameplay is hardcore boring and repetitive for me. I would’ve refunded it right away of it wasn’t for the story. I’ve enjoyed past FF games but I’m surprised how bland the combat is on this one.

Can’t log in to it, maybe its Japanese only? Shame, having bought a PS5 literally just for this game and really disliking it I… have many thoughts. One thought - maybe make an RPG next time? And don’t give me any of that /r/games “um every FF is different sweetie”. Are they? Literally ever single mainline game has been an RPG. FF12 onward have been pretty experimental but they are still RPGs. Even some the most radically different FF spinoffs still have RPG elements. Even Dissidia (fighting game) and Theatrythm (rhthm game) have them! It’s a really stupid false equivalency if you’ve actually played the series.

I wouldn’t mind as much if the gameplay was good, but it’s nowhere near as good as the action games it’s desperately trying to be. I would take DMC or Bayonetta any day of the week.

I had no problem with an action final fantasy but the gameplay wasn’t up to what it should have been. The combats system in itself could have been great(as it feels and play good) but it is totally lacking in a lot of aspect.

Consider final fantasy stranger of paradise, another beat them all final fantasy, where you have companions (and online coop), a diablo like loot system, the final fantasy job system, and a lot of customization with fixed characters (It still isn’t up to Nioh 2 level)

I would have been happy if FF16 had half of that.

And that is only on the gameplay part…
