The active time lore is really cool and I dont think enough people mention it. Being able to pause a cutscene and learn more about a character and their motives or who they are and where they fit in the greater story is really helpful. Dont know where you are and how it relates to what you are doing? Pause the cutscene and read about it. Who is that guy and why do they matter? Read about it. It keeps exposistional dialogue from being too lengthy or exhausting. Its solves the problem of "Clive lives here, why is he asking a question about something he should aready know about?" You dont really need characters, like mimir for example, expositing lore at you. You choose when to engage with the minutae of the world. Its really great!

“Open World” is the most overrated trend for games in recent times. Not every game needs to be open world to be considered great. In fact a lot of open world games fall short in almost all other aspects and make the games not fun to play. Give me a non-open world game with great story and mechanics any day and it will be more enjoyable.

I’m very much enjoying it. Where some games feel bloated and ashamed to be a video game, this seems to embrace it, and retains a sharp focus on what it’s doing. Where open worlds with a million meaningless side quests overwhelm and bore me, this has really kept my attention sucking me into the narrative, and exploring the combo potential in the combat. I’m enjoying this significantly more than the unfocused ff15 though I only played that games launch version, not it’s enhanced release with further dlc and altered story.

I gotta say I think I disagree with you and agree with digital foundry's choice that the game should be played in quality mode and not performance mode as a ton of cutscenes are locked at 30 fps and their dynamic resolution options in framerate mode has abysmal stability. It's 60fps in battles only (and even then not always) and everywhere else it's borderline 45 fps on average. In their words, it becomes jarring jumping framerares constantly whereas quality is straight locked 30fps 99 percent of the entire game. Other than that nitpick great review as always Edit: I still find myself wanting to play in framerate mode now tho...hope they stabilize it, would be my preference

But overall, I think it's hard to consider it "an upgrade" over the franchise as a whole.

The combat’s pacing is absolutely perfect imo. Starts out really simple so you can get deeply acquainted with every aspect of your move set and gets exponentially more complex the further along you get. Some of the late game powers get pretty complicated, and they make sure to give you enough time to gradually incorporate the new stuff into your rotation so that when you reach NG+ and unlock Final Fantasy mode, you have a chance to kick ass straight out of the gate

I enjoy the game but my main critiques are the combat needs an extra layer like introducing elemental weakness and the lack of how you can build Clive. The only variation to building are the eikon abilities. Along with the enemies are too passive which bring downs the combat.

Boring sidequests, fps drops, and rpg elements are sacrificed for hack and slash action. It's 88 on Metacritic(bellow FF7R Intergrade). Yoshida is overrated.

I really like the game, but I am disappointed that tactical party RPGs are seemingly being erased in favor of following the trend of being an action RPG. There is nothing wrong with that that kind of game, but I like to play more than just action fighting games.

@Gamer_Cafe About one of two party based RPGs I'm looking forward to, the other being Rogue Trader. Other than that, the shift is going action. Even the KOTOR remake, should it ever happen, is rumored to be "more action oriented", and I think that's flat-out heresy. Just improve the system that's already there! The market is over saturated with action games as it is.

I feel that they are splitting the bill by making games like octopath traveler and the likes of those games. I find that both have their charms, but FF hasn't been a turn based game for like 20 years so this complaint likely won't go anywhere in the future.

If this game wasn’t as amazing as it was, I probably would’ve stopped playing video games after this one. I’d like to thank the entire team behind this game for making something so incredible that it quite literally made me want to play video games again
