 | I’m glad I stayed, and am looking forward to playing dark knight! Here’s my thoughts, as a final fantasy fan- Character design, environment art, and monsters (animations and design) are genuinely some of the best in the series. Reminds me a lot of the design philosophy of 12. The armor designs of the villains were particularly sick. Too bad the writing team apparently have only watched mid-tier anime and have never read a book. Dialogue and plot writing are genuinely so bad it astounds me that these lines made it to the stage in production that they asked a human to read them into a microphone. I do NOT blame the voice actors for their flat performances. I’d bring exactly the same energy to anything having to do with this writing. The end of the game was INCREDIBLE, mechanically speaking. When I fought the first “Judge” (the one with the shields) I woke up. Could the game finally be respecting me? Asking me to perform mechanics? It was the first moment where I saw hope. The boss rush at the end was nothing short of pure final fantasy goodness. Shit absolutely clapped. But WHY is every line of dialogue the most meaningless lukewarm non-talking? Literally a silent antagonist would improve on all of this BS monologuing. Genuine eye-rolling nonsense. Felt like I was at the dentist. Anyway, I’m excited for more, especially because I everyone says it’s only up from here! submitted by /u/A_Fitting_End [link] [comments] |
