Full disclosure: I did not pay for this (a "friend" "gave" it to me and I played it on a "nintendo switch"), so I have no fuckin' clue if this game has some dogshit payment model or whatever in terms of DLC, so that's not really something I'm bringing into consideration here.

Anyways, it's kinda cheating making a rhythm game for a series with a musical pedigree as monumental as Final Fantasy's; huge fucking shout out to Uematsu and his music teams once again coming making a game way better than it would've been otherwise. Moving from the 3DS to full button controls has made certain aspects of play awkward, but you get used to it after awhile.

Can't say I'm that amazing at this game; a lot of the higher difficulty tracks kinda enter the Taiko no Tatsujin zone of "damn there's probably some inhuman individual capable of doing this perfectly" level of complexity. But I wasn't really here for that, I just needed a comfy game to decompress with after work and it let me have a party of all the PS1 FF girlies and press buttons to my favorite video game music so it's a pretty amazing game for that alone.

Minus half a star for not including To The Edge, and then put that half a star back for actually acknowledging that Xenogears exists.
