    Very different from previous FF’s. You only control one character. Combat is very fun, and you can definitely style on your foes with sick combos. Sometimes basic enemies die too quickly. I enjoyed the story for the most part. I love the characters and the world building is great. The side quests are unfortunately one of the weaker points, which is sad because they make up a ton of the content. Great music and visuals. Weapon upgrade system is pretty basic (number go up). Overall a great game IMO, but I don’t think it holds a candle to FF7 REBIRTH.

      Do you normally control more than one character then? I’ve only ever controlled one character in the ff I’ve played so that sounds weird.

        Which FF have you played? I was talking about in combat. Most FF yes, you control one character while running around but in combat you fight with a team of three or four. For non-mmo’s, only controlling one character during a fight is a first as far as I’m aware.

          14, so yeah I guess that’s more of an exception. I did play a tiny bit of 13 but hated the combat

            Didn’t play 13, but watched a friend play a bit and knew it wasn’t for me. 13 has great music though.
