    Based on the fact that they have a playable demo already, and the critic scores are good I have confidence that thisll be gud Can’t wait for it to come to PC/Switch

      Switch seems like a reach, unless they do the whole streaming thing they did for stuff like Control. Possible, but I can’t imagine it is a high priority for them.

    I enjoyed the demo quite a bit, so it’s nice to see that it’s reviewing well! Definitely can understand why longtime fans could be put off by the combat system, but I really enjoyed the change of pace and I’m sure it’ll get more complex as the game progresses.

    I’ll definitely pick it up at some point! Still jamming on Diablo 4 though and want to finish side quests in TotK. It’s crazy how many good games have been coming out this year, tough to play them all.

    I definitely have some concerns after the demo, but it isn’t going to stop me from playing a new FF. No expectations for where it will rank for me in the series as a whole, but it is pretty likely I will at least enjoy it. I think there has only been two FF games I have ever not enjoyed.

        IX and XIV. IX had good elements, but I just actively disliked the entire cast of characters. I totally get why people can like it though. but it is really hard for me to get over the fact that there wasn’t a single playable characte rI liked.

        XIV I should love, I like MMOs and FF both (and I really liked XI), but there were a few design choices that really held it back for me. I could go into a whole essay on my issues with it if you really care. Honestly I don’t even hate XIV, just don’t actively like it really.

            Not really. I didn’t hate him as much as some characters coughZidanecough but I didn’t find him endearing like a lot of people did.

            I am working my way through all the FFs and will give IX a fair shot when I replay it, my opinion may have changed. I don’t think I have played it since it first released.
