I was a big fan of XIV so I'm very glad to see that not only has this improved on that game but that other people are digging it as well. Its been awhile since I've really felt excited for a fighting game. Netcode is good; I am getting ripped apart in Ranked (and Casual even!) but it never feels like there's gonna be a drop. Roster is good and it feels great to play. My only gripes are I would have loved some more XIV originals to come back (Mian :() and the story feels somewhat rushed. I know this is an insane thing to say, but I am a weirdo who really loves the backstory and lore of the series. Closing the saga in two doesn't give quite as much room for stuff to happen and plots like "dead characters are back" don't feel as impactful as it should. Otherwise, a stellar fighter, easily the best fighter in awhile, and a top tier KoF. Can't wait for Geese to drop.
