Jumping in to also confirm this game is great. My only complaint is they use anime style voice acting. It would be better with the British Shakespeare style voice acting of FF14 and FF16.

Tried the demo. Yeah, this isn't bad by any means. Good pixel graphics, summon CGIs, pure turn based, can grind off the bat. I maxed my level now and most have level 5 on most visions, so I saved and quit since I felt that going on in the demo would be wasted exp. Won't buy it now, but will later this year.

Turn based FF is the best FF.

Later combat involves a ton of multi-actions to do 2x 4x 8x abilities, to get an extra turn, or to add a character back in for a bonus round. Also made the mistake of slowing a boss so their multiple actions stacked up at the end of the turn instead of between my characters so i would have a chance to heal before the followup finishes me off.

Crit is also a limited resource in this game, limited visions and accessories but once you do have them the restore MP on crit with 2x 4x 8x actions pays for itself.

The mid level MRP cactuar has a 100% spawn spot on the west side of Onion Knight island, stay in the open field cause the forest adds other encounters. There is technically a spot you can reach for the higher cactuars before the region is available but it's only a 5% spawn rate.

The pre-order bonus airship skin is also speedrun tech because toggling it on will literally spawn the airship early outside of Olderion (Chapter 3). Can fly around to pick up open world items and acquire visions early but as soon as you enter a location it despawns so you have to fast travel back and do them one by one.

Jump rope has 10 15 20 then later 30 40 60 so nothing too absurd. However, for the 60 they speed up / slow down various segments of jump timing.

Adding this to my list. Just curious, Ive heard from others the story in this is decent but it treats you like you're retarded?

Final Fantasy stories are universally shit. Some better than others, but they're all super standard anime tropes.

Why the fuck would you play a FF game and expect a fantastic narrative experience? People are enjoying this so much because it finally returns the series back to its only redeeming quality - turn-based goodness.

Nobody who isn't retarded went into this expecting Citizen Kane.

Citizen Kane was way overrated, All FF games are weird , stories are weird , game play is good. I fondly recall using my brothers 'Nintendo Power Game Guide magazine' for FF1 to cherry pick weapons for my build and obliterating everything.
I'll pick this up on deep sale eventually. Too many other things I want to try first.

Super happy to read the reviews and turn based stuff…
