A solid combat system and mindblowing music for a competent remake. Too many portions got the AAA drag out for pacing treatment. I have issues with the story changes but also prefer that this game tries to stand on its own
This is the most divided I've been on a game. FFXV is a patchwork of half-cooked ideas from 10 messy years of development but underneath there's a gem with great immaculate vibes and amazing character dynamics sewn into the gameplay
If I played this as a kid in 1997 I would be a FF fan for life as well. So many twists and turns in both story and gameplay that take you from place to place in this world
Some slow parts, some not so interesting boss fights but this is narratively the strongest Persona game and has the best SLs. Makes me hope future games will be as linear in their story.
