Final Fantasy is back baby

ATB had me much more invested in the combat at all times, even for basic random encounters. While that can occasionally be a drawback, for the most part it makes the combat side of this game much more engaging, awesome.

The story side of the game is also much more engaging. For the first time in the series the characters actually seem real a majority of the time, and the story is pretty good, despite some nitpicks that I won’t think too hard about.

Really interesting that they went away from the job system in this one after trying it in III. I am curious to see how I will like it in V, because I think that with some changes it can be much more engaging than its execution in III.

PS: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth comes out today. Maybe I will play that one day.
