I guess that leads to my next question.

So I know Final Fantasy has magitek elements from the word go. Still, the footage I see from those clips is very Fantasy....so what's with the IPOD? Is there a lot of modern era tech in this take on FF1 or something? Because FF1 had like Fantasy shit, Fantasy shit, Airship, Submarine and then....floating sky fortress. Also a robot but most of that shit was like lost advance tech you had to go search the four corners of the earth to find and it wasn't till the later game before it even starts showing up.

Final Fantasy releases swing between high fantasy and magi-punk like a pendulum that's been flung from a catapult. Don't expect any sort of coherency.

I will say I quite like that some character was about to drop exposition and he just goes "TL: DR plz"

I just wish the main character wasn't so cagey about his motivation. What's he after? What's his goal? He's a mystery wrapped in an enigma.

Isn't that the much the same as just being poorly written? Not that I've been seeing/hearing anyone argue that this game has good writing.

I'd played the demo and.... just like Nioh, not having a prompt for the button doesn't make having endless QTE's in every fight any less obnoxious. And this one had even more from my loose memory of Nioh.

I don't think this game will end up in my GOTY mentions if I'm honest as I'm spoiled for choice.

But if i had a catagory like "Best junkfood game" then this game wins that hands down.
