I was 17 when Final Fantasy VII came out on the PS1, and me along with the rest of the world knew it had just redefined the RPG genre.
It wasnโt until I played Dragon Quest XI on PS4 do I think that the same feeling of being blown away by an RPG that hit every single box.
Itโs a good story, the turn based fighting is fun, the pacing is perfect and no section drags on; each part is the perfect length.
The characters are enjoyable and the game world is fantastic.
Places like IGN say the game was too โSafeโ, I say that the game is crafted by people that know what works. Things havenโt been over complicated just for the sake of trying to reinvent the wheel.
You buy this game for a well made tradition turn based JRPG, and that is exactly what you get.
