I know we’ve all been saying it, but this game is amazing. They don’t make ‘em like this anymore. This was an absolute labor of love and it’s blowing me away at every turn. I love how much they kept under wraps. I thought they spoiled so much with those last few trailers.. absolutely not.
This game is fucking amazing. So much love was out into it, and it shows in every category. The music, the battles, the exploration, EVERYTHING. You can easily say they don't make games like this anymore. There's just SO MUCH stuff to do. I honestly thought they were exaggerating I previews when they said you can easily sink over 100 hours into it......I'm at 80 hours and haven't even left Cosmo Canyon yet. This game does such a great job at letting you explore each character individually so you can play them and use their specific skills, it's fun. Another small thing I enjoy is how the entire party travels with you.....not like other RPGs where only your current party members are visible or even games where they disappear into the main character. It really plays into the idea of its "our journey". I also appreciate them on the sidelines still participating in the fight, even if it's not a lot it's still such a nice feature. As much as Aerith is best girl that must be protected at all costs, Yuffie is most definitely the highlight of the game for me. She's HILARIOUS. Her chocobo/materia jingles are hilarious. (It doesn't hurt that her VA is also one of my favorite characters in Genshin)
Yeah, seeing the party members in the field with you in fights is such a small detail that adds so much. I’m in chapter 12 now and a bunch of side stuff opened up again that I’m working through, I’m at like 65 hours. Game is just everything I could’ve dreamed of. Genuinely impressed at the scale of this thing and how well everything works. I’m so curious where the plot goes at the end, I’m fully in and am just overjoyed with this game. I don’t see anything topping this for me this year.
I'm at Chapter 9 now and before heading to the reactor I'm trying to do as much of the map as possible. I'm overwhelmed by how much I love this game, its one of those pieces of media to me that is so stimulating I don't even think I'm like clicking with everything. Like the music and art direction is so strong that it distracts me from being hyper efficient with the combat, I make mistakes all the time because of this. The banter and dialogue is just simply the best this series has ever had with party dynamics. I'm hoping the story gets weird and goes off the rails, so far through Corel I feel like the story is in depth versions of events from the original game with Aerith speaking like she knows what's gonna happen similar to Remake. I've loved these moments a lot but I want to be thrown for some loops
I'm bummed I haven't been able to play as much as I'd like and I probably won't get to do any this weekend unless I can get remote play to work at my parents house. I'm still on Chapter 4 in Junon.
Finish everything in Corel or head to the Gold Saucer.. I’ll be playing this game until June haha or longer.
Ok....that doesn't sound toooooo bad I guess. Not like the MANDATORY FLYING that left me scratching my head why. But still if you're someone like me wanting to at least complete everything.......I guess I'll find out when I get there heh. All I have left in Cosmo Canyon is the QB matches and then I'm off!
just finished the chapter 9 reactor and i simply cannot do side content now i have to know what happens
