I feel like this game kind of came out of nowhere. We got a few small announcements and then nothing major until close to the release date, unlike the insane marketing blitz that was FF15. Maybe I was just out of the loop.

Anyways I'm curious if anyone has any thoughts or opinions about it? I love Final Fantasy games but this one seems so different. Tbf I haven't played the demo, I'm planning on trying it tonight, but I'm curious what everyone thinks about such a major release.

I've played through the demo a couple of times now. I think this one might be special.

Final Fantasy has always been different with each one, this one is fully action based, but I think it reminds me quite a bit of 6 which is my favourite.

I've not been this excited for a game in years! ๐Ÿ˜€

Ooh! That has me pretty excited then! I've been very curious of how they were going to proceed from FFXV. It was such a weird development cycle and took forever, and then it's release was kind of mixed. I'm hoping they have a nice polished game with a really engaging story.

Yep! 14 was a car crash at launch too, and 13 also took forever and felt half finished. Same as 12 really ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

From the demo at least, this is a cohesive fleshed out story with interesting characters. It also seems to play really well, and it's gorgeous.
