This game does alot right and it can be fun. My problem is the single player modes requiring short window of time to perform certain moves isn’t fun at all it’s frustrating to have to start over just for that. Also the arena still look cheap and crowd looks fake with very little evidence they care about that aspect. Also matches with so many wrestlers you can’t tell what’s happening isn’t fun either.

Like so many others I can’t express enough appreciation for the people who made this game and every FF game. FF2(4) actually helped me tremendously in learning to read. I loved it that much. In an era where remakes are common I tend to expect trash because not enough respect is given to the source material or old school fans opinion. But this game is everything I could have hoped for plus more.

Having played the game to completion I feel that I agree with pacing criticism and it’s the odd side quests that cause the bizarre pacing. I have played since NES and I truly wish the is not called FF. It doesn’t feel at all like a FF game except for a few spots. The core elements of the story are FF friendship, over coming doubt, and fear, doing the right thing. I won’t spoil but I’ll just say many things you expect in a FF game are not Present. Overall I accept it as a FF game and it’s much much…… much better than the previous two not counting a thing online. It’s the first game I’ve seen that pushes the PS5 to the limit. Oh and my God some of the absolute best music! The highs of this game more than make up for the flaws I’ll give it 5 star since google doesn’t do a 10 scale. If they did I’d give it 8.5. Worth playing.
