I feel like this game kind of came out of nowhere. We got a few small announcements and then nothing major until close to the release date, unlike the insane marketing blitz that was FF15. Maybe I was just out of the loop.

Anyways I’m curious if anyone has any thoughts or opinions about it? I love Final Fantasy games but this one seems so different. Tbf I haven’t played the demo, I’m planning on trying it tonight, but I’m curious what everyone thinks about such a major release.

    I’m REALLY excited. The demo was incredible. I love the battle system—I really enjoyed FFXV’s battle but did feel like it could use a bit more variety, and that’s exactly what they’ve done with the Eikonic abilities. The story and characters seem compelling. The graphics are gorgeous (after playing the demo, I went back to FFXIV and it was a rough contrast lol, though obviously not a fair comparison). I’m an FF optimist and have found a way to enjoy basically every game in the main series—I actually enjoyed the entire XIII saga, which I know is a very unpopular opinion—but this one really feels special.
