Revisiting Spira was fun for me and I like the gullwings, they are great. Overall plot is definitely nothing exciting and it doesn't need to be, this is a great game and is really fun.
I think this game suffered in its gameplay. I enjoyed a few cast members like Vivi (The GOAT) but overall I don't have fond memories of this game like I do for other FF titles.
Yes this game isn't perfect. Coming back to it now I see so many flaws. But the world building and the characters are very well written in my opinion and I really like the Sphere Grid. I always dreamed of what it was like to live in Spira as a kid.
Fantastic game. Getting off your board and driving cars is a big meme. That being said, poor neversoft are being forced to these games out every year from their publisher so they tried to spice it up.
