This game is a massive love letter to all Final Fantasy fans like myself who grew up playing the 2D games and used to imagine what the battles and summons would look like if they were actually real, and play out battles scenes with friends and siblings. There is at least one aspect of every previous mainline entry being referenced or reused and they all evoke a feeling of nostalgia that feels satisfying.

Also the gameplay is kinda fire, GOTY contender for sure
