My thoughts:
Intro:
Wow, this game was pretty bad. Should've listened to the hype.
Graphics:
Graphically very nice game, and the cut-scenes are fun! IMO, still looks great in 2018.
Sound/Music:
I love the main theme, but overall just okay.
Gameplay:
Game does a good job of never letting you get too overpowered, which starts as a positive, but no matter how much time you throw at it, that positive quickly turns into a frustrating negative.
The games linearity isn't a huge minus, but there are some story lines (Sazh and Vanille) that drag on for far too long. Some whiny characters FINALLY get less whiny. And once you get to the "open world" part of the game, boy oh boy, temper those expectations, because wow, does it get boring.
Story:
I liked Lightning as a main character, she was great!
Overall the story is a mess. WHY IS THERE NEVER A PLAN?! The characters have this inertia and rarely ever stop and think.
Outro:
This isn't
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 bad, though, and it's the worst of the modern (post-FF7) Final Fantasy games I've played.
Rating:
2/5 stars.
