Already up I thought. Havent looked because I want to go in blind. Waiting for the post man to arrive.
I did this exact thing
I wanted to be surprised and not influenced by reviews and just experiment everyting myself. Staid away from any story lores that were out there as well
Been playing for a few hours so far and it seems pretty enjoyable so far.
For those who don't want ANY SPOILERS (I'll only give my thoughts on a few things I'm still barely into the game so there won't be much of anything except first glance thoughts)
But the Pros: loving the open world. They completely did away with the 13 corridor feel and its a huge open map. Explorer is extremely fun so far.
combat system is pretty fun as expected sort of has the feel of a kingdom hearts fighting system. Only thing to me is its a little sloppy. Hard to combo and really tell what's going on in massive fights. Teammates sort of useful and there is potential for what I think could be pretty solid combat going forward
Te game can be pretty challenging which to me is always a pretty important thing in Final fantasy I have yet to come toward much puzzles yet so I'll see if any really come.
I love that they continued the hunt idea that started in 12 it's pretty fun way to do side missions
The cons I feel so far is you kind of are just thrown into the story there isn't much of a set up but i still have to get deeper into the game to find out if it gets deeper so we will see but so far it's a typical story again I haven't really gotten too far but it's my first impression
They definitely tried to add a lot too the game and some of it so far seems pointless such as te character skills. You have to fish for experience to get good things to help you cook you have to cook to get experience to be able to help you make food that adds to your stats which is fine but they added like photography which I haven't found out why that's important to a character but seems like they are trying to add a lot.
Level up system is the most confusing out of any FF I've played so far. Not really too hard to figure out but still takes time to figure out all of the trees and how to distribute AP.
The driving is a major let down. I thought it could be cool having a car but to me it's an extreme waste. You can only follow the road and set paths and they did too much with you trying to customize your car but that's just a small thing to me. I believe there are chocobos meant to ride for the field which is so vast but it would have been cool to go off roading
These are just my opinions so far of the game which as I've said is barely anything so far only 7 hours in.
Overall I'm happy so far with the buy.
