I’ve played and finished every mainline non MMO FF game and hated everything after 10, so I wasn’t exactly hopeful that I would enjoy it.
It’s the 5th best in the series for me after having finished it a couple weeks ago. I used to think the loss of Sakaguchi is what killed my love for FF but now I realise it was the lack of well written likeable characters that did it.
I will say one thing though, while a great game it’s not much of an rpg. There’s pretty much no variety in how you build Clive.
I can’t stand the Fifth Element. On paper, it should be perfect for me but I just find it really obnoxious.
Hey thanks for the solidarity!
