Great world, characters and compelling stories. Music adds to the relatively chilled vibes as well and just a nice, cosy narrative RPG. Managing your characters health and actions adds to the whole experience. Really have to strategise what your do each day to make the most of it. Good game!
Every time my wife walked in the room she would say "you still just being chased by rats?" which I think sums it up nicely.
Definitely not my favourite in the series. The story wasn't particularly cohesive, and large parts were just explained away with fairly wild revelations.
People often talk about the junction system, which is fun to break but also incredible admin heavy and once I found a good setup, I rarely changed it up.
I'm glad I've seen this cult favourite FF through to the end, but I definitely won't be joining the fan club.

Very mediocre action RPG. Obviously it draws many comparisons to the Souls games, but it does try it's on take on things with mixed success.
Definitely not as bad as some of the other reviews make out. It's fine, with okay graphics and design, acceptable story and passable combat. I picked it up for £3 in a sale so definitely worth grabbing for that price.

Easily a top 3 Final Fantasy game for me. The design, story and VO work are all incredible! The gambit and job system work brilliantly together without overwhelming you. They are there to engage with as little or as much as you like.
Definitely still feels this is an underappreciated entry in the series but it's absolutely worth your time. With the added features I managed to reach the end just over 31 hours.

Fun morning routine with a new competitive mode keeping me coming back.

Very much a sequel by the numbers. Felt like Ubisoft applied their generic design doc after the success of the first game, which means it loses a lot of focus and charm.
Enjoyable enough but just padded out with the usual meaningless side quests/missions where you get weapon skins and Rabbids lore... Wouldn't be rushing to recommend this.

In my head it's an 8, but in my heart it's a 9.
