This is a good™ game. The story's good™, the characters are good™, the gameplay is good™ and the music is good™. After XV, a competently made video game like this one feels like a miracle but there's...nothing really special about it. Nothing really stands out, it's just good™.
The story starts off really well but kinda falls apart in the second half, the characters are well-written but I kinda struggled to get attached to any of them, the gameplay's good but gets old very quickly because the game is incredibly easy and doesn't really ask you to get into the nitty-gritty of the combat system. It also gets old because the game goes on for way too long. Not unusual for a Final Fantasy game, but there's a reason character action games (like DMC and Bayonetta which this game is trying to emulate, not action RPGs like NieR and Kingdom Hearts) only last about 10-15 hours. The music is great but sadly largely unmemorable outside of the banger battle and boss themes.
I don't know. I played it and had fun, but I'm not going to remember anything from it in two weeks, which is a bummer because it's an entry in one of my favorite franchises ever. Still, it's a lot better than XV and that's something worth celebrating.
