My first PS5 Game! And one of my final FF games on my long, long journey catching up on the series.
This game has a lot going for it! The Eikons are truly awe inducing, and the Kaiju battles are great action sequences. Overall, the production value of this game is apparent in the main quest, and the battle system / big story points are cool! I liked a lot of the characters, with Barnabus in particular sticking out. Clive is a dud, and I don't understand why they just decided to make him Geralt. Such a boring choice.
The side quests in this game are absolutely god-awful, and really bog this thing down. They felt like they were pulled straight out of a PS2 game.
Overall, not my favourite FF by any means but it's an interesting enough turn for the series and kept me hooked in the whole time. I am hoping they take a step back from the action oriented entries, would love to see modern squares take on a purely turn based combat system again.
