I should've quit this game when I saw the first thing that the game shows you was: "A Final Fantasy For Fans And New Players"

This should've either stick to being a side game as the original plan or they should've put this into the online-only mmo FFXIV as an expansion.
The game is already an mmo-minded offline game anyways with all of its unnecessary collabs and having all the other Square games' music to listen to in the car's radio...

There's literally nothing positive this game has gameplay-wise:
Battle-system is trash: You either hold the attack button or the block/dodge button and that's it,
There's basically no magic in this game: Just fire-blizzard-thunder (Hello?? Isn't this a FF game where are all the magic),
Camera is literally the worst game-cam by far and nothing comes even close,
World-exploring and traveling is trash (they don't actually let you drive the fucking car wtf)

And apparently to understand this story you have to do bunch of stuff like: playing a side-scroller game, watching a Youtube series, playing a demo, watching a movie, playing 4 different dlcs (btw the last of these 4 story dlcs is missing in this all-in-one package/version of the game which is hilarious) and you have to do these in between specific chapters!? (which there's no way you can know this without looking it up online). I didn't do any, fuck that, the main game already killed all the joy I haven't had in me.
This is basically whole fucking Kingdom Hearts "every single entry across all of those different platforms are still canon bro" shenanigans but just for one game (They didn't even pull this kinda bs with their biggest milk cow aka FFVII).
